Try this (If you need more help I can give more detailed instructions later):

1. Install samba.dsl
2. Edit /opt/samba/smb.conf
3. If you want to keep settings add /opt/samba to .filetool.lst
4. start smbd and nmbd "sudo smbd -D -s /opt/samba/smb.conf"
5. Create a share password "sudo smbpasswd -a dsl"

Good Luck,

A hard drive install, you're in luck!! Try
< my tutorial >. Also, when you click download, it automatically installs Samba. Everything runs in the background, so you wont notice anything different. Read through the tutorial and go step-by-step and you should be in business.

Good Luck,
