My question is what is the computer used for? Are you using it<br>
for your Linux from scratch project?<br>

Well.... what happened is I was using my laptop as my main computer<br>
(which I have since learned is BAD); I was running everything through<br>
it. Then the card reader didn't work. No problem, I rarely use that<br>
feature anyways and I got a USB Multicard Reader/Writer. Then certain<br>
keys started not working (and things were progressively getting<br>
worse). No problem, I got a USB keyboard/mouse. Then when I was at<br>
the airport to go to FL I found the internet switch didn't work. Time<br>
to take it to a repair shop. Well, I can still use it for finances<br>
until I get it to a shop when I return from Surfside. Then the fan<br>
wasn't working. Then I got back from FL and took the computer to a<br>
repair shop.... SO I then took my Linux from Scratch computer and<br>
turned it into my central computer. This means I'll have to get<br>
another computer for Linux from Scratch and start all over with LFS. I<br>
told the lady at the repair shop about the fan, the dropping keys, and<br>
the internet switch (forgot about the reader). She got back to me<br>
yesterday and said that the fan was working just fine and that the<br>
keyboard needed to be replaced. I inquired about the internet switch<br>
and she said it was a part of the keyboard. I'm now thinking that the<br>
card reader is a part of the keyboard too but I don't know.<br></div></div><span class="">
