I am so honored that you and Dotan and others keep an eye on me to help me 
sharpen up.  I read your last communication to help him and the article.  It 
is ahead of me yet to think like that but I do admire the guys who figure these 
things out.

Anyway, no I do not have ext4 partitions.  My new box is down until I can get 
a ride to a shop to test things I can not test in the studio.  That is a tough 
problem for me, because it may take months.  In fact the computer that is 
giving me the current trouble is the old computer that was replaced by the new 
one.  I don't have the same fine components, so I haven't moved it up to the 
ext 4 file system.  The primary boot partition and all storage partitions are 
ext3.  It is a P4 2.3ghz with 512mb of ram. 

One of my best expert friends suggested the complete changeover to ext4 with 
my new computer due to it's greater capabilities and higher end components.  I 
always do what he, or you, or Dotan advise.  Still I show respect for anyone 
who helps me from the list.

I burned to it to ISO.  I have been using that term improperly and no one has 
noticed.  More accurately stated through my thought pattern is I copied the 
data to a blank CD Media using K3b to burn it.  Even that is probably wrong 
terminology, however, I try my best to make a description that is more or less 
obvious until I know the terminology.  Then I change.  I have tried to think 
what copied to CD would mean that is different from that, but I don't know what 
it would be.  Suffice it to say, from now on, if I am burning anything to a CD, 
I will say just that.

Perhaps because I am in ext3, I can f-secure cdlive, whatever that means.  
Just to see if I could supply additional data, I typed f-secure cdlive in a 
non-root shell to see if it might give you the data you did not think possible 
from my system due to thinking it is ext4.  I did not feel that I was 
experimenting because I was not in root, if Myriam is listening in.  As 
always, thanks for looking in.

Steven
