You actually don't want samba, that would help you serve printers. You want CUPS. Cups helpsyou serve and use printers. Rememberthe URL I sent you that started with archive? Have you tried that as a repo? Something like: baseurl= http://archive.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/ or baseurl= http://archive.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/… Also, give some better background with questions you ask, it will help people help you. -Randall On Aug 29, 2011 5:59 AM, "Ken Jones" <kjones(a)employees.org> wrote: > I've got Fedora Core 6 Evolution working so I can cut and paste. > I tried to use the "retrieve update information" tool.

I've got Fedora Core 6 Evolution working so I can cut and paste. I tried to use the "retrieve update information" tool. I think everything is WAY out of date. The update tool said. "Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: extras" I can't find one either. I checked the fedora-core.repo file: $ more fedora-core.repo [core] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch #baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$ba search/os/ I went there and got. The requested URL no longer exists.... URL /pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$bahttp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$basearch/os/ was not found on this server. All I want is SAMBA to work so I can interact with the my WINDOWS machines - particularly the one with the BROTHER printer attached. Ken

Either legitimately confused or early onset....

by Ken Jones

I have successfully installed Fedora 6 Core. I included 'programming' services. It said that it would install SAMBA. It did not. System Services mentions the need for xinetd. 'Locate' finds 'xinetd' but it does not seem to run. smbd and nmbd are nowhere to be found. Sigh..... My machine only has 256M ram memory. The higher numbered FEDORA packages ask for more ram. I have a 'good' and never before used set of Fedora 6 .iso CD-ROMs. Red Hat and Fedora have gone their separate ways. I just found http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Core/6/html/Installation_Guide/i…. Looks promising. Little did I know how much has changed..... Constructive suggestions would be appreciated.

It definitely doesn't have any data on it. I tried multiple discs. Even if that were the case, shouldn't I have been able to burn it onto the DVD which was listed as having enough space? > Are you sure the disk is blank? Try mounting it, and try another disc to > burn on. > > Eric Martin

Are you sure the disk is blank? Try mounting it, and try another disc to burn on.

Re: [Wlug] SAMBA on Fedora 6??

Why Fedora 6 when they're on 15 or 16? Is there something keeping you for updating it? Like Randy mentioned, there are probably a bunch of security holes that are now patched but weren't before.
