Glad to hear things are better. I am going to have to study your
issue of not being able to see things from the Mint computer. BTW,
many others recommended doing this from the command line and to
an extent, they are correct. Getting into the command line is a
good thing all said. However, since this is a newbies list and
since the system-config-
the point for what you wanted and given that you are a brand new
convert. I do hope that you find Mint as good as I have. I run
several machines with CentOS and one Ubuntu. On my traveling and
working machine, my laptop, I run Mint. It just works beautifully.
