That'll be a good test but it'd be easier (circumstances permitting) to just move the physical drive temporarily to another machine. You don't even care if that other machine can completely boot all the way up to a multiuser, X-capable condition using your disk - you just want to see if those same weirdo problems occur. This approach might not occur to him because (in my experience) it's less likely to work with Windows, but Linux disks can often be moved from one machine to another successfully. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
