To close the loop on this...I had a box here with a virgin Ubuntu 10.04 
OS installed on it. I followed the instructions to the tee just as Tom 
had stated, and it worked. No failures, operated as scripted.

Many thanks to Curt and Tom for their direction and patience. Lesson 
learned...make sure I have the proper instructions for the OS I have in 
hand. 73 all and look forward to working with the group.
