Sounds good. I'd prefer to have the HD version changed/saved
though. (I'm booting from the dos subdir where all the BasLinux
stuff is parked.)
Actually I tried to follow the instructions in the Customisation
docs but failed at the mount /dev/hd? with "device does not exist".
I *think* this may be because my BIOS can only handle a 528MB HD
so I have a Seagate "disk manager" to fool the BIOS and give me
the 1.2GB. I'll try it using the FD and see if it works ok.

My wife is a Librarian... I'll see what she can come up with.

Whereabouts, btw? (My folks live in Motueka and my Sis in Nelson.)
Many thanks, Steven. Your help is much appreciated.
