about the past two months though. Before that I was very nearly
Unix-free.

I will while I wait to see if anybody has any more ideas.
Please, help me save another machine from the clutches of DOS. Getting

New to Debian, I probably just need to RTFM somewhere, please point me to
it if you know...
I'm used to Red Hat's trick of chown'ing certain /dev files, notable
/dev/dsp and the CDROM devices, so that the user at the console can use
them. Is there a Debian way to pull off the same functionality?

One thing you can do: hold left shift during boot to get a prompt, and
at the LILO: prompt enter Linux init=/bin/sh (possibly replacing
Linux with another image name if your box doesn't have the default).
