installed on seagate goflex home--now what?

[aliron]

After installing into my Goflex Home, I am at a lost at what to do next. I installed samba and xorg, but have no idea how to set up samba or anything else, really. I just want to be able to use my hard drive as an unpassworded NAS, but I don't know how to access it besides SSH.

I apologize if this is answered somewhere already--I searched the beginner's guide and the forums and found nothing. What are we supposed to do after installation to access the hard drive in outside of ssh?

You want samba installed

I did a

pacman -S samba

what do I do after that? I read the samba article in the wiki, to create a share I "Edit /etc/samba/smb.conf, scroll down to the Share Definitions section."

do I just type that into the terminal? Is there an article on how to navigate the edit interface, or another way to edit that file? I don't know how to scroll anywhere.

I apologize for not being able to be any clearer--I'm obviously in way over my head but there's no turning back now. If you can point me to some resources I'd appreciate it.

I usually use "nano" to edit files.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'nano <file to edit>')

If it is easier for you, use WinSCP and login like you would with ssh.
