I Google and found a page with a nice set of commands to do it without a GUI, but my system is in transition to a new box and it will take a bit of hunting to find it. If I find it, I'll follow up. Or, maybe someone else will post it. On Tue, Sep 8, 2020, 11:56 Mario Lobo wrote: > On Tue, Sep 8, 2020 at 3:50 PM S.
