I'm trying to install Samba on my little goflex satellite so I can set up xbmc on my iPad to view the files in a more friendly way, apparently it's easy but the only links I can see on how to do it either point to a page on the Seagate forum that's no longer available or to this page which I don't understand.

Can anyone who knows linux translate this into instructions I can follow from a windows PC?
 
Most of it is in Linux and has to be, but I can translate some of it:

Google and install a program named HTTrack website copier
Set it up to copy the contents of http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/cs08q1armel/cross/unstable and copy to a folder on your PC
I've never used a Goflex satellite before, but I assume that if you plug it into a USB port you can browse it?
If so, create a folder with the name optware (case sensitive) in the root of it
Turn on Telnet in Windows or install WinSCP (my preference)
Connect to the device at its IP address using the username/password root/goflex
Type the following commands (enter after each):
Code: 
$ ln -s /media/sda1/optware /satellite_app/www/satellite/media/optware
$ tar -xOvzf /media/sda1/optware/ipkg-opt_0.99.163-10_arm.ipk ./data.tar.gz | tar -C / -xzvf -
Using WinSCP, copy /opt/etc/ipkg.conf to your computer and open it with Wordpad (not Notepad or Word!)
Add the following lines:
Code: 
src/gz cs08q1armel http://192.168.0.1/media/optware
$ /opt/bin/ipkg update
Copy the file back to the device (you may need to change permissions on it to 777)
Back on the command side of WinSCP run the following:
Code: 
$ /opt/bin/ipkg install dropbear
$ /opt/bin/ipkg install openssh-sftp-server
$ /opt/bin/ipkg install samba2
Copy /opt/etc/default/dropbear to your computer and edit it in Wordpad, changing the default port to 22
Copy it back
Copy /opt/etc/samba/smb.conf to your computer and open it
Add a share, the format will be something like:
Code: 
[Data]
path = /media/sda1
guest ok = yes
writeable = yes
browseable = yes
force user = root
Copy the file back
There's a bug in that version of SAMBA so download the fox from here:
https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B-ezVahX5lBXNlBHaVQ4OHA3OWc/edit
and copy it to the root of the device
Back in the command area, run the following:
Code: 
$ /opt/bin/ipkg install /media/sda1/samba2_2.2.12-5_arm.ipk
