Shush now Lisi, you're giving away all my secrets. ;-) The next time I
try, I will have the Official guide to properly setting up a static
network according to the *buntu guru's under my left hand. Succeeding
in that, then we follow another similar doc I've printed out to try to
make a pre-formatted GPT disk usable without giving up and letting the
installer partition it AND format it to suit itself. Which usually
winds up with something too small...
I am not always the P in PEBKAC...
Cheers, Gene Heskett
