Good suggestion and I'll try it when I can spare some down time in case it goes 
very sour.  But I will say, that since F5 on the boot screen has a DEFAULT, it 
doesn't "feel" like
the right way to do it.  There should be a way to make DEFAULT do what I want. 

hehe I said should.  I know better.  That said, this "should"  have been a 
choice like the one between sendmail and postfix.
