I edited, with the help of some nice people on the list, my fstab file 
to mount both the XP and OpenSuSE drives on boot up. No one attacked me 
for doing it.

As for Dolphin, I guess I'm a majority of one. I quite like it for some 
things. For most of the file system tasks I do it's the first thing I 
reach for. My suggestion is that if you don't like it, don't use it. I 
doubt there is someone holding a gun to your head. In fact many people 
remove it completely. That's one of the beauty's of the Linux/OS world. 
Your free to use whatever tools you want. No one tries to force 
something on you like they do on that OTHER operating system.
