After installing the Debian-base (NOT MORE) do an
apt-get install samba swat samba-doc
which will install a Windows compatible fileserver...
Administration is done directly over a Webinterface using "swat"
Note: If you install only the bare minimum, you need around 400 MByte
of diskspace and it is easy and fast to do backups...
ATTENTION: Please read the documentation for samba.
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day
