It's not auto-detected, but I may try some more ttys.  That's for the 
help and encouragement.  I liked Fedora Core 1, but just tried Core 3 
and didn't.  I think my favorite distro of all time was Mandrake 8.2  I 
think I'm discovering I'm really a Debian stable person who doesn't want 
or need all the latest and greatest.  I've been using Linux since '99, 
but am not a techie, so I learn slowly and in leaps.
