Determining whether you have SMBFS installed

Login on the console (or if using X-Windows, open a command line window, e.g. xterm, kterm etc) and type the following.

# cat /proc/filesystems

ext2

nodev 

proc

nodev 

smbfs

iso9660

ntfs

nodev 

devpts

If you don't have smbfs listed, then your system may still be able to mount your home directory using this mechanism. If not, you will need to re-build your kernel to add this support. See your system documentation for this.
