wasn't working on the second boot up. I had trouble with X coming up but
either having a jumble of the colors it should be showing, or not responding
to mouse clicks, on both the live cd and the installation. I got around this
by doing Ctrl Alt SysRq r and then Ctrl Alt SysRq k.
Sorry if this isn't the same problem.
Also, when I'm posting to an email list, do I just send it too the list, or
do I cc the person I'm replying to also?
