Thank you for th email you wrote.

I have 1TB space + more in this machine.

For a reason Ubuntu 14.04.3 took it´ś place in the lower and made it´s 
nest in there for a while and not there where it now exists.

Would You like to have some kind of a spelling about the pc´s I have via 
email?

That could be usefull in the future as time goes by.

Now this is working and that´s enought to me as a user crazy wonderings 
i still do have.

Truly

Pekka
