    I can't make either of you read what I have already written about 
this old subject just so you can call me names. But if you did you would 
have seen that for some reason not explained, the directory's I was 
seeing were attached to /mnt/. I used rm -fr on all of them and they are 
all gone.

    You guys like to keep something already fixed open so you can yap 
about me.


Karl
