I've found several guides.  Watching the net, for example, has you open
system, admin network.  I have no such critter.  And then system, admin
shared folders.  i don't have that critter either.    I'll look at the
others (may have done so already).  thanks for the list.

I may end up using a flash drive but it bugs me that I can't get it to work
like it should.  It was fine on Hardy with XP.   Should work as well with
Vista and Intrepid.  I have this faith that things get easier and better,
not vice-versa.
