(currently the only partition in > an extended partition I would describe as sda4) A suggestion to make most of this easier is to use midnight commander as a portion of your system management tools. If you are unfamiliar with it, or or not sure if it is installed already, just do 'apt-get install mc' it will allow you to do most of your requirements from a console based gui. It has an excellent search function , can create both 'hard' & "soft' symlinks, allows mounting of any registered drive, allows file editing, & much,much, more. Best Wishes!! -- John W. Foster
