Thanks.  I tried it and sure enough.... it works.
What I had done before was to take a diskette that I had backed up onto
via the 'ua' backup.  I did it for a single user and It only used 1 diskette.
But I guess I can't now mount it on '/mnt'(or anywhere else for that matter)
Now, the question is ..WHY?

Thanks again.  I really appreciate your help.
