Hang in there Marti!!

I'm learning a lot with this tread also. Stuff that's sort of bugged me 
for a long time but wasn't really all that necessary to my own use.

Anyway, I did some major digging and found something that might be of

I haven't tried it myself yet. I found it late last night and was to 
tired to trust myself.

The one thing it doesn't really explain is how to add the other Linux drive.

As has been said, fstab is a file, not a folder. Konqueror has to be 
told to show "hidden" files and directories/folders. [ View > Show
