always comes back by cycling the power, but it is probably time to
upgrade.

kernel is loaded.
However after asking for the keymap (I just hit enter)
it types "lo

My new (dell E7450) laptop will be a slimline with no internal optical
drive. So I want to purchase an external optical drive. My first
thought was to get a drive that is both
a blue ray READER and
