Nope. I didn't touch the modules, path, boot files
or records. Just hit the reset switch. Something got
scrambled, it seems.
Warning to anyone with write-back cache on their
hard disk: DO NOT HIT THE RESET SWITCH IN A MULTI-
TASKING ENVIRONMENT!
I was suprised that running X, with no window
manager, hung the "Alt-F1, Alt-F2..." console login
switch as well, since that was the first thing I
tried in order to log in and kill the process.

I will print this message out and take it home with
me. Unfortunately, the machine is not local, nor
can I log into it, what with the network module
"non existant".

I will not try that then. Many thanks!
