I think I get the idea but examples help make it more clear. I quite often find myself googling for examples of something. Once I look at examples, hopefully with some nice comments, then I can usually figure how to make something work like I want, even if it is different from the examples. Sadly, I couldn't get that with some video players recently. I literally copy and pasted the config and the mouse doesn't control anything. I'm not sure what to make of that. :/ At least the keyboard keys work. I do use LABELS so I'm good there. Most everything is in LVM but / and /boot is not. You know me and the init thingys. Bad enough to deal with what I got. lol On the other topic. I found this. https://www.fractal-design.com/products/cases/node/node-804/black/ I found them on Ebay, brand new even, at around $100. That thing is NIFTY. Lots of hard drives and doesn't cost a arm and a leg, plus maybe a head as well. Some of those cases get expensive quick and hold a lot fewer drives. Still like the raspberry type thingys power wise tho. It would need a really good power supply tho. Thanks. Dale :-) :_)
