Hi Daniel,

The reason I changed the group rather than change the partition, is that 
I want to keep my audio drive separate, and thus safe(er) during re 
installation of 64Studio.  When you bring out a new release, I like to 
test it on my hardware using a clean install so I can keep you informed 
of any new funnies creeping in for my hardware.  (So far so good).

With the group set to audio, any audio user on my PC (me only) can edit 
the files.  If I ever get some help, he/she would also be able to edit 
the files, without being able to get to my private stuff, all safely 
stored under my home.  :-)

Regards,
Quentin
