When I try to copy it over it says I do not have permission to do so, only root
(the samba piece under the Mepis CD is started up under DEMO) I got around
that by making a symlink between the mount point and /home/demo that
at least let me look in it, then I went in and did a chmod -R 744 *
which changed
some of the files to read only for others, but other files were not touched. Not
sure why, but I guess what I need to do is mount the hd read only for others
besides root.
