MarvS,
I'm fairly sure that I mentioned that I installed
Ubuntu, if not, I did put it in the subject line. I
guess I just need to be spoon fed :( ,The instructions
you provided for the previous OS was enough for me to
be able to figure out what to do. I understand that
you guys want people that at least try to help
themselves, and please believe me, I've been searching
and reading more than my head can absorb. I
appreciate the help I look forward to the day that I
can help others. I just like to do things the right
way the first time to avoid having to undo mistakes.
Anyway I'll read through everything again and make a
step by step list of what I think needs to be done and
I'll run it by you before I go messing things up.
Thanks again for the help, I'll have time to mess with
this tonight. Have a good one.
