     That worked just fine and thanks a heap.
     I will have the iso available at the next meeting
by the way with a DVD freshly made.   If someone
wants a copy of the other than KDE desktop iso
let me know and I will have one read for you to
take home.

     I picked up the Linux Pro this morning at
the Fog City News and it has some interesting
discussion of various recovery systems.  The
included DVD is Mint 14 with Cinnamon 1.6.
They included a version of Knoppix 7.04 as
well which was the main item last month.
Any interest in either of these let me know
and I will get a boot-able copy made.
