Thanks for that info. I have this kernel version installed: |

I'll upgrade eventually. I have read where people had trouble but they |
| 37 |
never say what kernel version they are using so it's hard to tell if it |
| 38 |
applies now or not. I thought it best to err on the side of caution. |
| 39 |
Now I know it's OK and I may just try it with a few files to see what |
| 40 |
happens. |

I just wish I could put Linux on the stupid thing and be done with it. |

We spent almost $200.00 on that stupid windoze install. |

Thanks for the info. |
