It may not be very soon since that computer is at my church and I will be on vacation for a week. By the way, since I will be using snapshot, is there a config file for APT that I can put something to handle the snapshots being expired? See bug 595801. It is a pain when going to snapshot in synaptic and getting the release file expired message. I drop out to the command line and do apt-get -o 'Acquire::Check-Valid-Until=false' update from the command line to get around it. recovery mode does not work either. Still an endless black screen after grub with no messages from the kernel. Brent
