     Have inconsistency in getting it to let me login. Yesterday no 
luck. At '$ runlevel'  got  5    3 so it must have been at runlevel 3. 
startx no help, back to blue screen. Today, just started it first time 
and it booted right to GUI login screen. All is OK that has been set up 
like email, FF, printer etc. Checked Pref/System/Network Connection and 
the box is greyed out. Pref/SysytemNetwork Proxy only 'Direct Internet 
connection' is ticked. Everything else is greyed out. Ran updates also. 
This happened a few days back and was fine as long as I stay logged in. 
Re-boot or shutdown was not good. Couldn't log in again. Then 
surprisingly today it is back.  WTF ? Other HDs are OK and work reliably.

Bob
