     WELL, I don't know what to say. I just put the HD in the PC turned 
it on and was waiting for the blue screen so I could login as root and 
type 'init 3'. BUT, guess what happened. A tiny clock appeared at the 
top left followed by a log in screen and here I am. Happened very 
quickly. A few seconds. Now, do I dare log out and try to get back or 
just wait for a reply from you. Yesterday I never did init 3 either. 
Maybe it is the Easter Bunny. I don't know. I'm a bit apprehensive about 
shutting off and trying again. What's your opinion?

Bob
