I will rebuild the Puppy User Instructions around this smb.conf to make it easy for newbies to get started. Review it and determine if you like its approach. And, during the PET installation, the last installation window that POPs after PET install indicates that the Menu has been updated under Network. You may want to take a look at that message because teh current PET is NOT putting entry in Menu > Network. (Kirk did put an entry in Network when installing his PET in FATDOG) Lastly, looking over your download site, I see that you had done some work on modularizing SAMBA. But, to properly use the pieces, will need some sort of document instructing what and how to piece things back together if need. See my PM to you on this. Sometime in late January I will take the time to test and write a Puppy Guide to setting up a Puppy FULL LAN server that works same as vendor servers costing 1000-20000s of dollars. The SAMBA that you produce lets Puppy do this with ease. Hope this helps. ![]()

Let me start off by saying, this was done to reduce the need for loading network drivers on the WinPE discs and so far has worked for most systems without issue, with that being said, we have had a few machines that have displayed issues with the GPT partition. When I spoke to some Symantec techs/engineers on the issue I was informed the Linux binaries have not been updated since the initial time the product was released with these binaries - would be nice to have them updated. In my opinion, it is more convenient to boot to one source, and update the Custom Linux Distro that is used to boot and run Ghost, than to change the discs for each model of machine. We ended up having 10 different discs to image our various machines as each one had a disc made to address the differences in the network driver. The Linux Distro has offered the benefit of not having to set-up a boot media for each new machine, only needing to update when the driver had been changed enough to make the newest system have an issue (Once in 2 years).
This distro and ghost binaries have been working with MOST machines!!
