Thanks for the details. That's what I've been missing. One quick dumb
question. I followed the link to Ubuntu Forums that you gave. I can see
all the discussions about the how-to but I can't find the how-to itself.
(Yes, I'm a registered user and yes, I was logged in at the time.) I
know that I'm missing something really simple but I can't see it. Help?
