Actually, I have a degree in software engineering. However, there is no reason to be a jerk. Another person answered the question without being judgmental. All I needed to know what that usbNetwork provides the services that I need. With that knowledge, I can take it to the next step and mount the volume I need.

I use forums to get a little help as most of the hacks start out with an assumption that the user HAS already mounted the rootfs. I just needed one item.

Having been a software engineer for three decades, there are LOTS of things I do not know. So sometimes I will ask newbie questions. Deal with it. Just provide me with a usable answer to my questions or cork it.

There is no need to add your doubt about my technical abilities to a forum post. You (and most people) really can NOT tell a person's technical abilities from a question.
