 Ah Hah! A challenge I can answer.

 Simply have her daddy log onto www.dell.com or www.gateway.com and buy here a
  nice new P4
 machine, with at least 80gigs of harddrive, a nice 15 flatscreen monitor, pl
 enty of RAM, nice speakers, and CD-RW/DVD drives in it.
 With warranty.

 Problem solved.

Hah.

_My_ daughter is on a nice salary, working in Canberra (I'm in Perth), and would have 
got her old Pentium going again, if it were feasible. She got her new old system on a 
staff purchase plan at auction prices, complete with an NT licence (and CD).

She does accept that using NT to access the Internet is a hazardous undertaking, and 
she has been using Linux for years (back to RHL 5.1). She''s also see what happens 
when you change your motherboard: RHL rebooted and reconfigured with a few minir 
prompts, W95 didn't really work even after a reinstall.

 Hello from Gregg C Levine
 My hacker's dictionary defines hosed, as badly broken, or not
 working at all, or if its an operating system, it refuses to boot. In
 this case, the person in question can't IPL the blasted thing. Does
 that clarify the issue?

Not really. There are lots of ways of being hosed, and I've seen lots of ways of 
not being able to boot Linux on desktops.

My daughter has a hosed Pentium II system, but I defy you to offer decent help 
without better information.

That's awfully vague. Define hosed.

And before you come back, peruse the logs in /var/log and subdirectories.
