So I see Seb, as I've spent 4 of the last 6 hours installing and loading it up for bear hunting, or whatever. The other two were spent carving up some screw hole plugs out of ebony, I took a break IOW. The 4 spline decorators are done, and now 6 of the 12 screw covers are done & glued in. Wheezy is a breath of fresh air, hell, even the networking worked once I filled in the blanks. Anything with a buntu label on it for the last 8 years has made me do it my way and mark everything related immutable so networkmangler can't screw it up. I've done that so many times, including with this 10.04.4 LTS install, that I can do it in my sleep I think. But wheezy Just Worked(TM), as did synaptic so what took me several days when I loaded this 1.04.4 LTS originally, will likely be done to the point of even having my web server in the sig back on line by the next time I switch drives and reboot to it. Another pleasant surprise is that KDE is an older version, so kmail is 1.13.7 and should not have a huge config problem bringing that back up as this one is 1.13.5. I am half tempted to just copy the older .kde subdir in my /home to that one and see if it makes anything puke. That way I'd already have all my filter settings, accounts, the whole maryann. I am positively drooling at that prospect. :) So if my web page works, and kmail works, this drive then becomes a mountable cache to go get the stuff I forgot. Many many thanks for the wheezy suggestion from linuxcnc.org Seb. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
