I took those actions except my system balked at the "adduser mikem disk" 
command complaining that it couldn't find the adduser command.  My CD 
problem was not fixed.  <sigh>

I flipped like heck through my book and couldn't find any of those.  <GD&R>

Actually, I guess this means that I get to practice with my "man" 
command .. or should I use a editor to open them?

Sadly, this was not the case.  I've tried various different settings for 
this using all the possibilities for /dev/xxxx and even toggling the 
AutoDetect option after each one to see if that might kick-start it.

When I botch something up I do a really good job!  And sometimes I even 
can fix it too .. but not yet with this one.
