Firefox home page syntax under pclinuxos

Hello,

I am running a dual boot system with win xp and pclinuxos. I have firefox
installed on both partitions. On win xp I have created a home page. The path
is as follows:

C:\Documents and Settings\Graeme\Desktop\home.htm

I have managed to point win xp firefox at this home page but can't seem to
get the syntax right in pclinuxos firefox. Under pclinuxos my 'c' drive is
labelled sda2 so I tried the following home path:

file:///sd2/Documents and Settings/Graeme/Desktop/home.htm

But this doesn't work.

Any suggestions as to how to correct the syntax so that my home page can
also be referenced under pclinusos firefox?

Thanks,

Graeme.

(Just btw, I would presume that what appears in firefox's URL bar
when you go to your home page, is
"file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Graeme/Desktop/home.htm")

Replace the spaces with %20 in URLs ...

file:///sda2/Documents%20and%20Settings/Graeme/Desktop/home.htm
