    not booting?

    take out floppy disk, CD out of drive, if any usb storage devices are attached unplug them too.

    start with the simple stuff.

    I'm not far away, just beside Tara.
    I can't make it before Thursday, but if she's still stuck then,
    get in touch.

    mods, sorry if this is against forum rules, but I doubt I'd find a linux guru anywhere else

    I checked this out before posting myself in a similar situation
    a few years back, and it seems OK as a one off anyway.
    Some form of statement from the mods would be a good idea.
    Maybe replace one of the ancient stickies :-)

    I'm sure it's fine. Can't see anyone getting cranky about it tbh.
