Interesting. I guess that we /both/ kinda wish that you did.

Doing the math, that means that you have 1.2 gig of space in use. My boot partition, as I mentioned earlier, is on a thumb drive, a Cruzer Glide model that I had thought was 32 gig, but my partition editor claims that it 14.32 gig. Anyway, I had repartitioned the drive to allow for a Grub2 with extra modules to live before the actual partition, and the partition itself starts at sector 2048 and runs for the rest of the drive. The partition itself registers at 14.32 gig also, probably due to the small size of 2048 sectors not registering on the gig-scale number. 722.24 meg is occupied, leaving 13.61 gig free. I guess that that`s a bit of a case of over-kill, but it is what was available at the time. I guess that around 1 gig should be plenty for me, when I repartition my tower`s SSD. If this fits well with your daughter`s case, I believe I have a starting point for the tower.
I guess then that that would make you "coat-hanger girl", no? <wink> I knew from snooping at your profile that you are a New Zealander, and I think that I had seen it mentioned in the forums a time or two, as well. Three-foot-six-inch gauge? If I`m understanding that correctly, it sounds /big/. Where I live, four-foot-eight-and-a-half-inches is what the actual commercial trains run on. It sounds like your Kotanga Tramway could have carried living adult human passengers! I used to run what we call O27, which, as you probably already know, is O gauge --approximately two inches, as I recall-- with a twenty-seven inch diameter circle for curved track. I tried to switch to HO (Half O?) so as to have more room for trains, only to discover that the curves were /larger/ than what I already had. I have an O27 layout in the basement on a fold-up murphy-bed style table that hasn`t been folded down in decades, and no place for a permanent HO layout. Trainz doesn`t take up much /physical/ space. When I registered my first Trainz, 2004, in late 2007, I entered MasterTracklayer for no good reason that I can recall. I guess it just sounded "cool" or something. Surprise, it wasn`t already taken. I don`t recall for sure if it was my first choice, but I think it was.
Nice chatting with you. Let`s do it again, sometime.

Here`s hoping, anyway. Right now, the install on the laptop is still working better despite being slower and smaller of screen. Makes scripting awkward. Much appreciated.
