189424 2003-11-05 10:21:00 Oh come now, surely not much damage could be inflicted if Linux only loaded a shell? :D

And XFree86 wasn't installed...

About the best you could do then is shutdown -ah now

189425 2003-11-05 10:21:00 Based on other posts you have made I am not 100% sure that the computer you want to get rid of is ( in fact ) DEAD!

You might like to donate it to your local School, PCUser Group, Church.

Back to the Council if you really want to dump it.

189431 2003-11-06 06:45:00 Great to hear. You obviously made a difference.
I was thinking about driving down from Tokoroa to chuck my oar in but I'm pleased you save me a trip.

189432 2003-11-06 06:55:00 I find that when I have accumulated several old computers, I end up being able to make a good one from the pieces.
A lot of people only need a simple computer for E-Mail and Fax.
An old computer is ideal for this, and very reliable.
