1 Hi Deedra,

3 No, that didn't work. Nothing happens now either. I noted that the computer
4 couldn't be rebooted using Ctrl+Alt+Del after entering the CD, but this is
5 perhaps because of the boot loader and not because any Linux kernel is
6 running. Actually the CD never seems to stop spinning, but it's spinning at
7 a low rate.
