INSTALL SAMBA IF NOT INSTALLED (Live Ubuntu CD doesn't install in default)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In order to apply patch file, set up Samba server for file exchange between Windows
and Ubuntu box.

quentin@ubuntu:~/lpc3250/ltib-qs$ sudo apt-get install samba-common-bin (has to be done to get samba work)
quentin@ubuntu:~/lpc3250/ltib-qs$ sudo apt-get install system-config-samba



ADD SAMBA PASSWORD PROTECTION FOR ONE USER IN CMD LINE
----------------------------------------------------------
sudo smbpasswd -a username

RESTART SAMBA SERVER IN UBUNTU
------------------------------
sudo restart smbd


MANUALLY ADD SHARE BY EDITING SMB.CONF
(if no luck to set it by using system-config-samba GUI)
--------------------------------------------------------------
(system-config-samba might issue warning on smb.conf syntax error but it won't affect the sharing of folders) See [2], another way to run Samba as service
