This was the same with the broken machine. There was even a period of time when I moved back to Windows. It was not so bad as the machine was then not connected to the Internet. Ouch! Never had any problems with that, though I did have a bit of an issue with my wired Ethernet when I first got the system. Newer versions would not install and 8.1 did not have the driver to support this chip. I had to play shuffle the drivers (install 8.1, pull in the em driver from HEAD, and then upgrade to STABLE to get the thing going. Both issues are now ancient history, but it made me very nervous for a few days. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer E-mail: kob6558_at_gmail.comReceived on Fri Apr 20 2012 - 03:18:43 UTC
