I boot into x-session.
I just clicked on turn off computer in verbose mode. All processes were
perform as [ok].
The very last line on the verbose mode is "Power Down".
I am assuming that I am to push the power button but this
does not make sense to manually have to hit the power button
in Linux. But what do I know?
I will try the install process you suggested.
Thanks
Mike
