Bug#806164: installation-reports: jessie install on dell xps 13 9350 (grub-installer issues)



That would be great - I have a colo server at cmyers.org you could upload to,
I'll email you credentials directly.

If it's too much trouble, I can wait until monday, but I'm glad to be the guinea
pig and try this out if you don't mind.
