I changed that and will test later on today.  I'm trying to get some 
work done in my garden while it is dry.  Sort of funny in a way.  The 
Mississippi river is flooding on the other side of the state and I'm dry 
here on this side.  I actually live less than a mile from a different 
river.  Weather is so weird sometimes.  I don't want to think about the 
folks North and South of me.  Tornadoes a couple weeks ago.  I live in a 
valley next to a hill, I'm not complaining tho.  It keeps the BAD winds 
away.  o_O   If anyone saw it on the news, I'm about 40 miles or so 
South of Smithville MS.  It's gone.  I saw what was left with my own 
eyes.  Houses are piles of rubbish.  I haven't seen Tuscaloosa yet but 
it is about 60 miles East of me.  Sounds bad and looks bad on TV.  :-(

Back on topic, I'll reboot and test this in a while.  I had this setting 
before but missed it during the upgrade.  Still can't figure out why it 
doesn't work from grub like it used to.

Thanks.
