Hmm? Better go check that out. I was hoping you weren't busy when I sent that message. I did manage to gain access to one partition. (don't ask me cuz I don't know) Why just one? <shrug> So I'll add that forward slash when I re-boot into Linux. Looks like I'll have to figure out also how to install codecs and the such. I figured support for wmv/wma files would be a task, but I though .avi/mpeg/mp3 support would be like standard equipment! :-O Thanks John!
