Hi Bruce:
Yes, you are right about the (HTML) client.

I'm "bashing" him for not doing his homework. Sometimes condescension is
earned; I didn't jump on him after his first post that sho

Well Bruce and Ben and Elly and everyone else ... thank you for all your help.

It's actually a quite complicated process. Short answer, the install

I see that LFS 7.1 uses Grub 0.97 and the Ubuntu 12.04 server I am using as a
