Oh I have to congratulate the ubuntu devs. If you use a command in the
terminal and it doesn't exist it gives you such a helpful error message!
I've never seen such helpful messages before, it's better than google!
My mounting commands all fell flat. I installed smbfs and voila! The
commands using cifs that once failed now work :)
