I was able to get around this by using the 5.1.1 CD instead. It has samba so it was quite easy to connect to windows share.
I am going to try and use pyNeighborhood on 6.0.1, but I am curious, would I have to install it every time I started the live CD. From what I experienced all my changes are lost every time I shut down. Nothing is ever saved. I understand this is because its on a CD the system can't write to a CD.

I have gotten a 4GB USB flash drive and installed the 5.1.1 CD to boot off the USB flash drive, but still noting is saved. How can I make it so my settings are saved after a restart?
