Thanks Carlos,
Sifting through several hundred emails a day on several different lists sure leaves a margin for error. I must have missed your reply. Thanks for revisting it for me.
Indeed it seems neither of these references exist locally. Off to find them.
Thanks again!

1. when I partition hdb should I partition as a primary or as an extended partition. I'm unclear about what the difference is other than being able to define more than 4 logical partitions in an extended partition. Does it really matter if I use extended or primary for this partition?
No. Well, primary or logical.
It only matters for booting up certain operating systems.
I got into trouble once defining /home on the hdb drive. Once I did that, I no longer had access to the data in the /home folder on the hda drive. So I could not move things over to the new drive. So it occurs to me to make hdb have a different mount point, something other than /home.
Of course.
2. when I define the partition, should I define the mount point as something like /UserFiles/JeepNut? or should I just make the mount point on hdb /JeepNut?
Apologies if these are stupid questions. I'm just beginning to understand what is going on with the partitions and their names...
Well... I answered to your question when you asked a few days before, but it seems you didn't notice. I'll repeat - the answers to your questions are in this file, so, please, read it:
/usr/share/doc/howto/en/txt/Hard-Disk-Upgrade.gz
alternatively:
/usr/share/doc/howto/en/html/Hard-Disk-Upgrade/index.html
If "not found", install it from the dvd. Or, you can get it from the web.
