I installed the Sarge Woody system to my computer
including Samba and all that using network install. I had Samba running on
this system without any tweaks at all. In other words I could see the Samba
share on
the new computer immediately with no modifications.
It took a few minor modications to use it as a file server. Running
smbpasswd on the new Sarge box.
And setting up a directory to share on the box and
adding the info to /etc/smb.conf
