Thank you, but the help on the Linux pages so far have been useless, my external hdd is there but I can't use it, there is no tutorial I could find that, shows or tells me how to setup and use an external hdd in/on Linux, seems no matter where I go o can't find the info I need, I'm not a computer geek if these companies or whatever want us to use their products, they should have some kind of open q and a, why does one have to create an account somewhere to ask questions, even for here, had to sign up to become a member to get q and a, there should be fields for questions then if one is serious have them enter their email Addy for a reply, anyway no matter where I've looked online I can't find anything about setting up a USB hdd in Linux maybe you have links or more information that will help but I do have Linux now and I would really like to get back to freenetting but can't in my current situation please help On Aug 11, 2015 4:18 AM, "dean" <deanshann...@gmail.com> wrote:
