Creating Notebook Failed #1

Hello,

I launched Binder from this repo using the 2nd "launch Binder" button and tried to create a new notebook. I get the following error:

Creating Notebook Failed
An error occurred while creating a new notebook.
Permission denied: Untitled.ipynb

Is this expected behaviour? (The 1st button in the README works fine; I can create a new notebook.)

I think the fix is to add WORKDIR /tmp to the Dockerfile in the truly-minimal branch.

The reason you can't create a notebook is that the working directory is / where a normal user isn't allowed to write. Not sure I understand why this ever worked :-/
