| 34 |

You did. I think a couple of them had some pictures to but google image |
| 61 |
search found some more that helped. Of course, reading the commands to |
| 62 |
see how they work helped too. I just needed a picture to see how this |
| 63 |
was built up. |

I learned a lot in the past couple days. Still don't want my OS on it |

tho. ;-) |
