Thank you, I learned something from you. I'm not sure if SCO OpenServer 
5 is an htfs or a ufs filesystem. I read references to both on the web 
when I Google. I see ufs listed in this directory

/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/fs

So maybe the next time I am with that OpenServer box I can copy its file 
system and plug it into Fedora 11 and see what will happen. I'm not 
averse to compiling the kernel if I must.
