..means we have starting points there too, fb1024x768 will not do FG but
we now know we can cough up an equivalent X setup that will fly it, it's
only the graphics we don't know yet.

..I suggest we do the Toshiba first, I don't have any 64bit iron and

..penguin menu -> Root Shell:  "passwd".  Setting it for the knoppix
user: "passwd knoppix" etc, and root can set it for _anyone_.

..the file needs to exist, that command will create it if it doesn't
exist.
