Hi Doctor Johnson, At least half of the time, the *attempt* to explain to the doctor cures the problem. Several times I've spent more than an hour writing to the list, and then resolving the problem through the exercise of writing. (I don't usually trouble the list unless I'm feeling especially boastful.) In this case, I ran out of time and returned the hardware. I don't appear to get the same errors on the dd'd and mounted partition copy that I recall on the original hardware. There could have been some error on my part. Some errors remain mysterious. Thank you for explaining list etiquette. Let it be known that I contribute to this list as well as asking for help. I attempt to remain courteous, including providing sufficient information. Good day to you, Dr. btw, we are all doctors and all patients here! Have a tofu flavored banana bar and chill :-) > >Thanks for your kind offer, however I no longer have the computer > >to play with.
