To use a network drive via Samba, the drive must already be defined in the Drives tab. 
 

Example 2: Downloading to a network drive 
A user wants to download a file from the Internet. The user is using the local browser Mozilla. 
The file is too large to save to the flash. 
A solution is to save the file to a network drive. In our example, the target directory is the 
Samba network drive “g”. 
In the Save As dialog > File name field, the user can either type the complete path including 
file name (/smb/g/test.pdf) or the user can type /smb/<drive name> (in our example = 
/smb/g

) to view a list of subdirectories. The user can then choose the desired subdirectory. 

The file download path is not the same as the browser home directory. 
 

 

To use a local application to view a PDF document using an internal CD-ROM drive (IDE), 
install the Adobe

®

 Acrobat

®

 Reader and Mozilla software and start the browser. Insert a CD 

containing PDF files (in this example, the eLux NG CD) in the CD drive.  
Start Mozilla. In the Open File dialog, enter /misc in the File name field. A list of mount 
points appears. Double-click on cdrom > windows > docu > eng. A list of available 
documentation folders is displayed. 
Alternatively, you can use the local command  
 

acroread /misc/cdrom/windows/docu/eng/elias/elias_manual_eng.pdf

 

 
from within a shell to open the file using the file directly using the Acrobat Reader software 
(you must know the complete path). 
 
 

All browser files are saved to the Thin Client’s local memory. The local folder /tmp is used for 
temporary files (cache, etc.) and the local folder /setup/<browser> is used for permanent files 
(history, bookmarks, etc.).  
By definition, a Thin Client has very little available memory. For this reason, heavy surfing can use up 
the available local memory very quickly. When available memory is 5% or less, the user is plagued by 
recurring warning messages. There are two options: either the user restarts the terminal (the /tmp 
folder resides on a RAM disk and is deleted when the Thin Client is turned off) or the administrator 
must go to the terminal and delete the files by hand. 
To avoid this inconvenience, you can use a network drive as the home directory for the browser. All 
browser files (cache, history, configuration, cookies, etc.) are saved to this directory, regardless of 
whether they are temporary files or not. 

 

1. From 

the 

 tab, click Drives.  

2.  Enter a netdrive path in the “Directories” > Browser field. 

You can use a network drive or a subdirectory on that drive. 
Example

: 

/smb/g/user/paul

 or /nfs/hal2001/users/paul 

In the case of Samba, the drive must have been previously defined. (See “3.9 Drives”.)
