Now, I'm in. For the moment I'm connected to the mains socket directly, similarly the monitor and keyboard. Will probably try reconnecting via the KVM switch and surgemaster, but maybe not until the barebones (replacement server) is here. The reply that I maybe failed to send noted that there seems to be fluff on the CPU cooler (under the fan), so putting in a replacement and then downgrading this one as a server-test machine for occasional use is probably long overdue. Meanwhile, I've got to catch up with mail. Oh joy, I can now hurt my brain with trying to work out why firefox-47 with gcc-6 is demanding old autofoo (autoconf-2.13, if my memory is right). Maybe not tonight. ĸen -- I had to walk fifteen miles to school, barefoot in the snow.
