   Going to a different approach by using a HHD but as I cannot get the SD    
   content to migrate over I will   
   use it mounted to /home once fully sorted then replace user pi with me and    
   create a full root account.   
      
   NExt will be to work out how to run a rsync from the primary server to it each    
   night as there is some   
   security issues that the server will not let any one get it other than the BBS    
   ftp area. This is due to   
   the ftp setup for the BBS so will have to look at the rsync approach. May be    
   that will work just have to   
   remember to NOT overwrite the ~/bin directory :).
