Flawless NetBIOS boot disk:

Simply edit the autoexec.bat to reflect your workgroup/domain name and you're golden!  Autodetects most NICs, randomizes the netbios name, has generic CDROM drivers, disk utilities, etc... It's a real keeper!

I've had problems using it to GHOST files UP to the filer, but GHOST sessions fly down.  Someone on the list suggested creating another NetBIOS alias and modifying a buffer, but I forgot about it and never tried it...

if you are running from a dos machine you should be able to use the dos smb
drivers from microsoft - the ones that came from lanmanager.  if you are using
any windows based machine the drivers should be there.
