Sorry, |
| 14 |
It gave no error at all, the screen went black and the system did nothing |
| 15 |
(locked-up), like it could not find the bootsector, thus requiring it to need a |
| 16 |
manual power-cycle. |

The system is busy compling xorg-x11, kde-meta et. al. |

When it finishes, I shall test Richard's theory and let you guys know |
| 21 |
what I learn, paying attention to the various combinations of spaces |
| 22 |
and no spaces. |

Thanks for all the help (from everyone), |
