I just hit "Post Reply" and the editor came up, and after I was 
finished, I hit submit, and I got the same nasty message I got in the 
first place. (See my initial inquiry here.)

So, since you read the initial question, and presumable the initial 
reply, I will copy my answer to the reply here, if you don't mind: (Hope 
this is not considered cross-posting.)

Thanx, Ed.

Also am posting this:
[doug at localhost ~]$ df -a

sda1 is Win7
sda 7 and sda8 are pclos.
sda10 and sda11 are supposed to be Kororaa, but there seems to be a 
problem:  sda11 seems to be empty!Maybe I should just reinstall the 
thing, but it that's the case
then please tell me what to tell it in regard to the boot sector, or 
however the question is posed, bearing in mind that I want to wind up 
with the pclos boot-loader for all the
systems.  Also, of course, what you think might be the reason that sda11 
is not /home, as it was intended.

Thanx for your interest--doug
