Heya folks - so far, all is good. I was able to pull in my T-Bird email
and Firefox favs into my Ubu install. The mounting of my FreeBSD (ufs)
mp3 drive was just as Matt mentioned.

I'm currently copying the file to a temp dir so I can format the 2nd
sata drive.

So far - everything is falling into place as I hoped it would.

I'll keep you posted as this conversion moves on.

Again - thank you Matt for the info


Regards,

Chris
