- If that's it, I've still got two questions:
-
- Why did it work so smoothly the first time and then *suddenly* start
- having problems? The hardware wasn't touched. (The partition map
- and the contents of the Linux filesystems were all that could have
- been changed.)
-
- If I can't get Linux to run (even off of a floppy root) how can I do
- *anything*? Darn chicken-and-egg-type problem.
-
- Thanks!
