   Thanks Tim. I did a bunch of reading the other night and got a handle 
on the fstab file. I think I am doomed to learn linux one little problem 
at a time. Everything runs fine, I change something to "experiment"; and 
then I end up learning something else while trying to fix the system and 
get it back to where it was before I messed with it.  :-)
