..thanks for the remainder, I had a feeling I had forgotten something
of importance updating a wee spare ascii disk install to chimaera.

..lost a coupla days worth of emails and command line history in my 1GB
stopped dead disk, after getting distracted from backup-ing blue smoking

on any plug-in screen, all the while while the consoles were annoyingly
consoling. ;oD
