Dear friends:
Due to human error on my part (a nice way to say that I goofed big
time), I will apparently have to reinstall LM 8.0. I set my Bios to
CDrom, inserted CD1 and started my reinstallation. I am an old hand at
this, so I should be able to do this blind-folded.
HOWEVER, suddenly, at the second stage, LM 8.0 stops at:
"Probing for serial ports."
And it seems to stop at this point forever and forever.
How do I UNinstall Linux properly so I can REinstall it properly from
my CD?
All right, I'll reveal my "human error": I inadvertently deleted my
/etc/X11/XF86Config files. I created a new XF86Config file, but, alas,
it's too late. LM80 cannot leap over that "probing serial ports"
barrier.
Thanks so very much, folks.
Benjamin
