Hi Everyone

I had two problems, one was a permissions error for file saving and the 
second was a complete mystery. I lost the ability to play sounds! Weird! 
"I did not touch the button Dad, honest!" No the mute was not on, yes 
the volume was up, yes the speakers were plugged in and turned on.... :)

I launched Linux from the Live CD and everything was fine, doh! SO 
obviously it was me. I did some reading, reformatted everything and 
started from scratch. The only difference is this time I let the Live CD 
automagically define the partitions instead of me playing with gpart.

I loaded Nvu using the synaptic package manager and I was able to create 
and save a simple HTML in seconds.

Best,

Darren
