Hi,

I was able to resolve the second issue of permissions so I now have R/W access to my share from both Knoppix and Windows. I was trying to figure out how to get my CDRW to allow writing and discovered an option to "Open Current Folder as Root" under the "Tool" menu in PCMan and bingo, write access! The CDRW is still not working but that is another problem for another post (if I can't find the answers on my own by looking around).

In the process of trying to get this working, I ran into new problems relating to the original post -- How to upgrade to PUEL so I can have access to USB from my VM and I also believe it would be better to use the Vbox share than the network share I am using now. The dpcumentation for VBox says to simply install upgrades over the existing one but when I did that, I broke things. Any advice would be helpful!

Thanks, Robert
