It was quite simple, contrary to my expectations:
The steps I followed:
1. Enabled USB debugging
2. Got the GingerBreak apk file on my Android phone SD card and installed it
3. DS went into reboot itself. Took several minutes to boot back to the OS
4. You should see a Superuser icon in your applications list now.
Now the applications that require superuser privilage will ask through the Superuser app. You can give or deny it based on your discretion.
Many thanks to the developer of this application.

mount error(12): Cannot allocate memory error for Samba mounted Windows shared folder
When I tried to copy some large files to the vmware openSuse Linux guest (with samba mounted shared NTFS Windows drive) running on Windows 7 laptop host, I got the following error.
"mount error(12): Cannot allocate memory
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)"
I found the solution after Google search
1) Open registry editor:
2) Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\LargeSystemCache
Set the registry key to '1' (Hexadecimal)
3) Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\Size
Set the registry key to '3' (Hexadecimal)
Now go to windows services (Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Administrative Tools ) and restart 'Server' service. (right click & restart)
