Well, "the next day or two" turned into a couple of months!

My uni demands are very high at the moment. I have a number of assignments, tests and reports all due quite close together. So my minimal free time has disappeared into fat air.

With my son also on holidays this last week and this coming week, getting free time and silence is close to nil.

Excuses Excuses, I know. I believe I resolved the flash drive issues, thanks to some comments in the forum about all files on fat32 flash drives needing to be in capitals.

Hopefully with that info and my 2.5" hard drive that I liberated from my old thinkpad, I will 'hopefully' get to boot linux and get on with my telephony goals.
