Thanks!  Got it going; it seems that the ftp site I was trying to
use didn't like talking to the new machine, which doesn't reverse-
resolve from IP to hostname properly.  Once I got that fixed,
stuff started going much smoother...

However, looking at your site, I now see that I'm gonna have to do
it all over again, 'cause I blew away hda4, the sleep space.  Oops.
Chalk it up to not knowing any better.
