Agreed.

done, I still own it.

its not in fstab, never was. I touched a file in 
home/gene/Downloads/3dp.stf named sdb1 to create a mount I didn't have 
to search thru /media to access.

Up until this 5 second power failure, I could, as me, mount that SD card 
there, and use mc, as me, to overwrite a file on that card, then sync; 
eject sdb1. Led on card adapter goes out, pull the card, take it back to 
the printer and select and print the updated file.  Now I have to be 
root to do any of it except the printer. The card is vfat, which has no 
concept of file ownership.

Nothing changed there in months.

XFCe login, I think. I only see it once on that machine. logging in 
remotely with "ssh -Y machine-name" or 'user1000'@machine-name is how I 
generally run things from a comfy chair.

Done, but no change in the $PATH. But it did take two ctl-d's to exit it.

Thank you deloptes.
