Bug Description
mount -t smbfs .. is a very popular way to mount a WinX share. This does not
work because the package smbfs is not included as a part of ubuntu by default.
If the reasoning behind this is that it would take up space, please consider
putting a more humna readable error message (current message is '1919251317 is
not supported').

This is even more frustrating when Ubuntu is booted from the Live CD - without this feature, I have to use Knoppix inplace of Ubuntu Live CD to mount Windows shares and work with remote files/folders from the command line.
Please add this feature before DD is released if possible :-)
