Great idea, Gregg.  Will do, as I move forward.

I've decided to go ahead with logging, since I have the room.  I did 
logging last time I set up a router, which has been running a year, and 
so I know how much space it requires.

However, should I go with a smaller SSD, can you (anyone?) tell me how 
to turn logging off?

Thanks.

Jeff
