almost...
[liveuser@localhost-live ~]$ sudo -i
We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.
[root@localhost-live ~]# mount /dev/sda6 /mnt
[root@localhost-live ~]# chroot /mnt
Error, do this: mount -t proc proc /proc
/usr/bin/basename: missing operand
Try '/usr/bin/basename --help' for more information.
bash.1[/]: mount -t proc proc /proc
bash.2[/]: less /var/log/dnf.log

So now I can do "rooty" things in the workstation hard drive when using
Fedora live. I might need this soon....
A few times while trying to use Fedora live, the workstation froze while
in Firefox.
A few times, Fedora live did not shut down properly; and the cooling fan
surged; and I had to do a hard manual shutdown.
Twice, very early in boot-up, before the grub menu appeared, a warning
about the cpu being hot appeared.
Thursday, I had to go into windows-7 briefly to see if my board was bios
or uefi; it froze during shutdown.
Both Samuel and Tim have made suggestions and asked questions that I
want to follow up on. But with hints of hardware trouble, I need to
turn my attention to the hardware. I'll open a new thread on that.
The questions I asked when starting this thread are answered. I thank
those who tried to help for their time and effort. I've marked this
thread "SOLVED".
Bill.
