[maemo-developers] VMWare appliance maemo and Samba

[From: Kon Wilms]

There is actually no need to setup samba on the VM - you can use the shared
folders capability of VMWare Tools which is already installed on the VM.
However I am not sure if you are using the free VMware player - this feature
may not be available on it?

Cheers
Kon
