While I appreciate the comments of folks much more learned than I in the 
intricacies of Linux, I would like to hue to the intent of my original 
thread of postings. That is requesting help in getting my OS setup after 
some hardware charges. (please note I am not trying to start a flame war.)

I now have a system that boots without any problems.

The fstab is:

# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=71f1ed49-9178-4bbc-b872-510f7982e245 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=4b041dec-d00f-4acf-a731-f6a34d885105 none swap sw 0 0
UUID=900b5f0b-4f3d-4a64-8c91-29aee4c6fd07 /sdb1 ext4 rw,users,defaults 0 0
UUID=1f363165-2c59-4236-850d-36d1e807099e /sdc1 ext4 rw,users,defaults 0 0
/dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0

which results in:

comp@AbNormal:~$ lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 465.8G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 457.9G 0 part /
├─sda2 8:2 0 1K 0 part
└─sda5 8:5 0 7.9G 0 part [SWAP]
sdb 8:16 0 1.8T 0 disk
├─sdb1 8:17 0 1.8T 0 part /sdb1
├─sdb2 8:18 0 1K 0 part
└─sdb5 8:21 0 7.9G 0 part
sdc 8:32 0 465.8G 0 disk
└─sdc1 8:33 0 465.8G 0 part /sdc1
sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom

Further, as root I created a directory; /sbc1/Apps and gave it 
permissions chmod 777 /sdc1/Apps -R. I can read and write to Apps,

Currently I have:

comp@AbNormal:/sdc1/Apps$ l
total 68208
drwxr-xr-x 27 comp comp 4096 Jan 1 09:17 Fortran
-rwxrwxrwx 1 comp comp 69826864 Mar 18 10:16 
Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
drwxr-xr-x 57 comp comp 4096 Feb 11 13:24 Models
drwxr-xr-x 3 comp comp 4096 Mar 17 08:43 orca
drwxr-xr-x 41 comp comp 4096 Feb 2 13:02 Python

Unfortunately, when I attemped running 
MMiniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh I got;

in part:

Miniconda3 will now be installed into this location:
/home/comp/miniconda3

- Press ENTER to confirm the location
- Press CTRL-C to abort the installation
- Or specify a different location below

[/home/comp/miniconda3] >>> /sdc1/Apps/miniconda3
PREFIX=/sdc1/Apps/miniconda3
installing: python-3.7.1-h0371630_7 ...
Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh: 370: 
Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh: 
/sdc1/Apps/miniconda3/pkgs/python-3.7.1-h0371630_7/bin/python: 
Permission denied

Even I can see that I have a permissions problem.

Help addressing this problem will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
