Yes, I am in it now and 'everything' is back like it should be and it opens up the partitions without the Gimp raising up its head!! Now IF I can follow...remember I am one who doesn't do much except $ cd /sss/yyy/zzz and rm -f file(s) using cli, so it can be dangerous for me to tread without keystroke by keystroke examples. So, I will just use this alternate userid for awhile...till I can get to an installfest or get someone who can either haul me and mine or bring a monitor to the meeting at the Muse coffeehouse meetings. Duh here, never thought of seeing where that problem was!! I usually 'tread lightly' on the 'dark side' er, cli. Thanks a million Craig Now let's see IF I can keep from doing whatever caused the other id to go bonkers. ===== Cyclists should expect and demand safe accommodation on our public roads, just as does every other user. Nothing more is expected. Nothing less is acceptable! Long live Knoppix!! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - 250MB free storage. Do more.
