Hi Mike,
if you just want to access files on the Linux box from Windows, you
may also consider "winscp" (Windows secure copy), which is an sftp
client for Windows. Just start ssh daemon on Linux and you are good to
go. Do something like this:
sudo su
/etc/init.d/ssh start
If you want to share directories so they appear in the "My Network
Places" on Windows, you will have to use samba as was pointed out
earlier. If you do not care about access control, you can put
something like the following in your /etc/samba/smb.conf file:
[Name_of_your_share]
comment = Put your comment here
writable = yes
locking = no
path = /path/to/your/share
public = yes
then start samba server like this:
sudo su
/etc/init.d/samba start
The problem with this is that you will have to make these changes
every time you start from the cd, unlass you manage to save them
somehow to disk.
Hope this helped, Lukas
