Re: [PLUG] where is the mount point?

[Eric <eric@lucii.org>]

I'm not sure about Gnome but in Konqueror you can access a Windows/Samba share
using the URL: SMB://workgroup/what_ever
which AFAIK does not "mount" the share but simply accesses it directly from the
Konqueror browser (via Samba client s/w)?

If you want to access the shares with a terminal (for example) then I believe
you would have to set up a script using 'mount' and specify your own mount
points to be able to use these the shares.  This is what I did.
