Well, until I can make the internet disconnect while still sharing files, I better leave it as is. May change later tho. I do need a better root password tho. May as well be a pet's name right now. ROFL One thing I'm digging for at the moment. A way to make it beep once it has completely booted. DDG has found ways to make it beep but trying to figure out how to do that at the end of the boot process. Not sure how to trigger that yet. I suspect when I find one, it will work on most if not all distros. May be a neat trick. Getting real close to redoing my backups. Kinda liking this thing. If that transfer speed holds up, I'm gonna be in love. o_O Oh, one other thing in case someone reading my ramblings doesn't know. When setting up encryption, if one ever wants to change the password, make sure to include the luks bit. I learned the other day that without the luks bit, you can't change the password, not that DDG and me could find anyway. With luks bit you just add a new one then delete the old one. Or keep both if one feels naughty. I'm sure luks bit does more than that but it seems to make changing passwords/phrases possible. I didn't know the difference. Now to remember that. :/ Dale :-) :-)
