Can now report that it survies re-installs - so it probably is the known one
which the other fella posted about - I have noticed from time to time it
must involve the powering down end of things, because it's only after it
says that that I get the scollies!
All I get to see it system halted - then rapid scroll - but what is it that
I should see at shutdown? Presumably some message about powering down?
Regards,
Ian
