Thanks for the tips.  I will start looking into how to do this stuff.  I
have a copy of msdos, so I guess I will use that.  I am assuming that I
have to make the file readonly in the mount command in fstab.  In my little
bit of reading I have seen how to make the C: & D: drive, but I have not
seen users drive metioned.  This I assume can be the users home directory.
