Working Solution
Greetings all, here is a working solution and yes, a complete Samba is not installed on the current Knoppix 6.2.1 DVD
To use Samba with Knoppix 6.2.1 perform the following tasks:
Download the Knoppix 6.2.1 DVD and burn it, then boot a machine from it
Use the flash-knoppix app to create a boot usb thumb drive - an 8 GB drive will more than suffice
It will take a while to copy knoppix to the thumb drive and it may seem like it is hanging on 99% completed for a long time - just be patient, it will complete
Boot into knoppix using the new thumb drive - knoppix will ask you if you want to create some space for saved files and if so how much - choose the rest of the available space, choose encrypted or unencrypted to suit your needs. Creating saved space will also take a while - be patient
Once that task is completed, download the latest tgz archived version of Samba from samba.org
As root, configure Samba to install under /UNIONFS/usr/local/samba and make make install
Once installed, edit the /UNIONFS/usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf to suit your needs
Start Samba as a daemon
/UNIONFS/usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd -D -s /UNIONFS/usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf
Start nmbd only if you need it - I don't so there is no need to start it up
Samba installed via this method will remain persistent on your knoppix thumb drive - you can likely configure it to start on boot - but I see no need to do this as Samba, or any unneeded service, should definitely not be started on Knoppix unless absolutely required.
Enjoy!
