I found this :
All commands must be done as root (precede each command with 'sudo' or use 'sudo su').
Install Samba
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install samba
Set a password for your user in Samba
sudo smbpasswd -a <user_name>
Note: Samba uses a separate set of passwords than the standard Linux system accounts (stored in /etc/samba/smbpasswd), so you'll need to create a Samba password for yourself. This tutorial implies that you will use your own user and it does not cover situations involving other users passwords, groups, etc...
And did as suggested - then tried to access using Dolphin - didn't work BUT I doubt that I finished the job .

mkdir seems to be the "directory to share" but I want to share drives if possible. I am not command line trained .
Is that right ? Is there no other disk shareing procedure ?
( sorry for the total Linux novice ignorance )
