to have a persistent Home folder on a separate hard drive maybe.

Thanks for the welcome and for sharing that info. It sounds like that
is exactly what I need to do, and wouldn't you know it not all that

The links will give me somethng to ponder. Never thought about a

Thank you and nice to be here!
