Stephen...
I just came across this post and noted you're use of the smb browser.
Quick question: does it allow one to actually work with file on remote
file systems? The newwer versions of RH that I've played with lately
have some sort of "built-in" smb browse capability that seems to work ok
for "lookie only, but no touchie". In other words - you can't actually
do anything with remote files viewed in this manner. One has to copy
them over to the local filesystem and then you are allowed to open it,
play it, etc... just curious about this one that you mention.
Thanks...
