        I finally go it setup properly it seems.  Well I thought   
   I was there on Friday but the test account i was working on   
   wiped out all the directories and files in its /Home/user   
   directory between boots.  I have spent lots of energy today   
   trying to remove the empty directory.   
   	I had to do just that with my original user account then re-create it   
   and then re-establish the link between ahome/user/Data directory and the   
   /data partition.   
        On the other hand I have straightened out the /data partition (in   
   main hard drive) and /Adata partition (Adata on backup external hard   
   drive) permissions so that I can read and write to them.   
      
        The PCLOS install is simpler and more complicated than the Mandriva.   
   Mandriva has everything done at the end of the Install but the PCLOS   
   makes you reboot before you can add the name you are using, root   
   passwords and primary user accounts.  My /data directory seems to   
   have confused the install scripts and the /data directory was the only   
   one written to my User directory.  So that was very sucky.   
      
      I think it would have been find but for my eccentric partitioning   
   scheme.  In the meantime I could not locate my documents on setting   
   up the /data directory to  data partition properly.   
        I did learn how to to backup and restore on Thunderbird though   
   so the time was not totally wasted,   
      
           Have been spending all day setting up KDE to my liking   
   but Thursday night was so intense that I could not remember to   
   take my medications and supplements at bedtime and was   
   up for hours after that.   
      
         Had to use root to keep up with my email and Usenet posts.   
      
        Further
