Agreed. Basically, the distinction now _has_ been lost, so it would be
best if the two words were not used, unless the meaning is clear (or you
know the particular speaker would get it right). Sad, but true, I think.
Like a lot of grammatical pedantry matters, I also find that my mind

Glad you got it sorted without losing anything. That's why I suggested
adding somebody as an additional spouse/partner/parent/whatever _before_
deleting a link. Being able to _change_ a link has apparently had the
same effect (of not losing data).

Yes, I think you're probably right about that. Wrong of me to equate
their behaviour. It ruined both their careers, though.

I could well be wrong. Nobody else seems to be jumping up to support this

Oh it's a nice idea. You can completely move your system parts around
and it will sort it all out for you. But I'd like it to hide it from
me!
I have no fixed it, fairly easily, with /etc/fstab (I used the file manager
to mount them, dumped /etc/mtab, copied the new line into /etc/fstab and
changed the name). But it was a bit of a blow when it stopped working.

I didn't know what the little squiggle was for, but I'll click it and

I don't know what your bandwidth is but I wouldn't want to download the
790 mbytes that the cd will be.
I'd either wait until a Linux magazine, perhaps LinuxFormat, has the
cd/dvd as an attachment. My guess it that it will be the next issue.
Alternatively, Linux Emporium is selling them

Very true. When we lived in Barrow [1] aged about 7, one evening a few
of us walked down the lane to the railway line and through a farm.
Some boys we didn't know blocked our route on the way back brandishing
penknives, so we went home the long way round and were very late and got
told off, but didn't explain why we were delayed.
