[ale] Samba problem

[Geoffrey]

I do something similar on my wife's win95.  My approach was to simply 
mount the share and as I recall, there's an option to mount it on 
reboot, which I selected.  Now, every time her box boots win95, she's go 
the share automagically.

At boot, a dialog pops up telling you it's attempting to mount it, and 
then it goes away.
