[Gloucs] More than one hard drive

[Richard Millington]

Hi Alan,
	Very many thanks for your reply. I have since found a way to use Yast to  
give the drives permission for read/write. I am 63 and the brain is not  
what it once was, so I am a bit weary about using the command line as I am  
not happy that I know what I am doing!!!
	
Cheers,

Dick
