I have been experiencing great pain and anguish since upgrading the hardware of my DL-based server. Please can I request for the next release (final or testing) of DL: - if possible, add the r8168 network driver (available direct from Realtek at http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false), because the r8169 driver which is in the present release (and the kernel) has intermittent problems with Realtek RTL8168B-based chipsets - see http://unixblogger.wordpress.com/2011/10/18/the-pain-of-an-realtek-rtl8111rtl8168-ethernet-card/ - and/or upgrade the kernel beyond 3.5.1 (which may also fix some problems with r8169 when used with RTL8111/8168B- see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=839992) - on an unrelated note, while it would be great to have the latest samba v3 release (3.6.16 at present) please don't switch to samba v4, as this will not work with my setup (security=share is dropped in v4) Thanks for your help!

From my experience the key to getting Samba (v3.6.7) to work with security=user for client connections which use 'MS LAN Manager' or 'Microsoft Network Client for DOS' or 'Workgroup Add-On for DOS' is to add the following line to smb.conf in [global]: min protocol = LANMAN2 |

I would like to try this but I need i386 server build. (My hardware supports x64 but I can't install it because install-on-usb crashes on trying to install x64 build from a i386-running system.)

Mount boot partition. Copy new 64-bit DL image (bootcd.iso or bootcd.squash, accordingly to format which you use to boot) with extension "new" (as bootcd.iso.new or bootcd.squash.new) and reboot. Ofcourse, if You want use both boot's 32-bit and 64-bit, You need separate partition, but You can as usually, instal on it 32-bit image and prepare to upgrade to 64-bi as above.

Thanks Andrzej. In fact I realised I could just burn a real CD (remember those?) and F8 on restarting to select boot from the CD drive. It is set to load system to RAM so once the load from CD is complete it runs fast. It's running now, all seems ok but it's early days...
