Kernel configuration and networking options.

1. I found there is an option in [File systems:Network file systems]
called SMB_FS. The help is confuse because it says that it is not
necessary to check this option. What about SAMBA?

2. The same with the option in [File systems:Network file systems]
called CIFS, but the help suggests to set it. Again, what about SAMBA?

What do I have to select if I want to integrate a linux desktop
computer in a WIN98 network and share printers and directories? Or,
are those two options left over?


Best regards,

Marco

Well, the question is , if I have SAMBA, what are this kernel options
for?
or if I use the kernel options, do I still need SAMBA?,
or if the kernel options are set, how do I use SAMBA with these
options set?
I have already configured SAMBA in another network and it works well,
but recently i found out this options in configuring kernel.

Marco.
