ooops, the above was written [by me] before I read the thread << "Help
or arrogance (Was: Re: How to overcome a boot-up endless loop?)" >>

it seems that I made a mistake (perhaps also made by Alan and Lisa, in
that other thread?) (or is it a sub-thread?) and I misunderstood what
mike havens <bmike1 at gmail.com> meant.

...so, I could have saved myself some typing,
if I had read that other thread first.
