Hi,

I am unable to save my work because modifying /etc/fstab for
a floppy doesn't get any traction.

Also, I can't get online with it because both KDE & Gnome hang.
Neither Ctl-Alt-Back nor Alt-Fn will get me out gracefully.

I have just been resetting the system, losing my previous work.

I will be grateful for help.

Byron Hale
