ah so. thank you very much.
i knew there was something i was forgetting. i just was not thinking
of what it was.
thanks to chemotherapy last year, my 'chemo brain' has almost totally
removed my 'near photographic memory' i used to enjoy.

this is true. i did such first time i installed centos and it stayed
with out having to continually select.
after banging my head against several problems with 32 bit, i thought it
would be easier to run a fresh install with 64 bit, which brought along
more problems and head banging.
this next fresh install, i intend to select what is installed instead of
going with default because default installs a bunch of packages that i
have little to no use for.
should make a much smaller "/media/sdb3" where i have centos installed
and i can increase "/dev/home".

btw, i have 'raveled' this thread more than i care to. and i have a few
questions to ask before i make fresh install of centos.
also, i need to 'pull the plugs' and get some rest before the rooster crows.
will post a new "Subject:" later on in the dawn.
thanks again.
