Shush now Lisi, you're giving away all my secrets. ;-) The next time I try, I will have the Official guide to properly setting up a static network according to the *buntu guru's under my left hand. Succeeding in that, then we follow another similar doc I've printed out to try to make a pre-formatted GPT disk usable without giving up and letting the installer partition it AND format it to suit itself. Which usually winds up with something too small... I am not always the P in PEBKAC... Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
