Hmm, my ignorance is showing. I wondered about the third slash but
entering the location under "Open File" in Firefox inserted it and I
simply used it. I will remember that.
Opera is not my normal browser, just tried it on a whim since I had
it left over from the F-13 upgrade to -14. It does not handle
"file:///mnt/srvr1/index.html" it just keeps trying to access the
server it appears form watching the eth0 monitor on gkrellm. I may
have something set wrong in Opera ...
Thanks.
