2011-01-19 Thread Anna
I think enough time has passed that I can write this up in case anyone else runs into this situation. Back when I was tussling with a school IT guy, he demanded administrative access to the XSs. Err, you do realize there is no GUI whatsoever and all you're going to see is a prompt, right? He
