But I do wish, now that Linux is a more-or-less mature product, that a bit more attention would be paid to making it and the programs it runs bug-free. The reason I'm not using it now is that it crashed, big-time, and I have been too lazy to fix it. And if it can crash, there should be some easier ways to fix it. If I had a boot floppy with a program called "FIXIT" on it, it would sure help! Well, I'm only half kidding. I'll probably just reinstall it, Windows-style, but I haven't talked myself into that yet.

Hello, Pete, and others-- Hey, presto, nothing. The system still won't boot. It gets part way thru the boot sequence and hangs. Now that I remember, I tried all this stuff last August, and that's why I'm too lazy to go on. And I would like to keep the KMail stuff that I saved, but I guess that's not in the cards. I ran the program twice. Twice it said it had a problem with post.fix. I don't know what that is, and I don't know why it didn't fix it the first time around. I didn't try a third time. If anyone has another idea, please let me know. Otherwise, I'll trash the old system and start over. Foo! --doug
