I've > already installed synaptic and samba (why they are not included in the > Mint installer beats me) Short answer is that the Mint team think it is not necessary for Mint to perform to the Mint specifications. It is Mint's distro, they can put in what they please. The respository have the programmes you need so apt install xxxx or crank up synaptic. Mint does not install samba, nfs-kernel-server, mariadb, or mc. Yes it is annoying, but the structure is there. A small bit of customisation is a small price to pay for Mint. - I'll add the other and work from there. > > Thanks for the message. >
