Steps.md

Steps:

1: Environment Mac OSX with docker 1.3.0 and boot2docker 1.3.0 (Boot2Docker-cli version: v1.3.0 Git commit: deafc19)

2: Derived a docker image based on debian to experiment with yo generators see DockerFile.

3: Built image using command: docker build -t yowebapp .

4: Run container docker run -it yowebapp /bin/bash

5: Inside container see docker container first invocation: The sample webapp is generated in folder /webapp using the command yo webapp. The question to improve yeoman was answered with no, otherwise defaults were used. For me this took about 5 minutes. There was one issue that I haven't fully investigated regarding pre-build test failed, compiling from source.... However I believe this has no bearing on the issue described here.

6: Continuing inside container see docker container continuation: Changed to a newly created directory /webapp2 and generated the example again. This time there is a permission denied problem.
