Hi Johannes,
YES that helped a lot. I got a little mixed up in some of the
direction there on getting Dropbox to run at startup. I have it
installed, created the symlink and I can start dropbox on demand, but
was wondering if you run it at startup, and what method you used on
Fedora. I'm running Fedora 15 if that matters.

Thanks again for your help!
Jayson
