I'll check this evening. Of course, I *should* have checked last night, but
I decided to try Mandrake after fiddling with SuSE for an hour or so.

What makes this PC even more interesting to debug is that I have no way of
copying anything off it. I decided to be clever and leave out things like
diskette drives, so I have to boot into a Linux that works to get anything
copied to the machine I do my mailing from.
