I'd like to give my backing on dropping smbfs and enabling CIFs as well. There have been a few times when this would have come in handy, and as Kerin rightly mentioned, samba being implemented properly on the livecd would mean a major size increase. Bare minimum tools are pointless when there is a completely suitable alternative which is in many ways better. just my 2p I've already got CIFS support setup for 2006.0's release. Also, the InstallCD kernel is the same used on the LiveCD, since I don't want to maintain multiple configs, so I am leaving smbfs enabled, as I know as soon as I disable it, somebody will ask for it to be enabled. Also, the LiveCD has samba, so it has all the mount tools. This is fixed with the 2005.1-r1 release media. |
