I thinking I am just gonna fresh my /home/herb BU off to folder on hdba HD and do a clean install onto that drive asking it to preserve all settings and see what happens?? I can't see getting into trouble doing that. but I wait till tomorrow if u have advice I plan just to set /home/herb2 full on sdba that boots now into mint. I hate the visual controls on Mint keeps presenting me with teeny font that I kan't see anyway I happy with Ubuntu so why change hh ______________________________________________________________________________ Highland Lakes Linux User Group (HLLUG): http://www.hllug.org HLLUG mailing list: //www.freelists.org/list/hllug
