Whole fstab (cat /etc/fstab??) appears in an earlier post. Please don't 
make me one-finger it all over....!

I've got to drop it there and go to my son's school production now. 
Family first. Will be back for a wee bit more about 2030. Eek! Just seen 
the output of /menu.lst. Lots more typing for John!
Thanks so far.
