[Klug-general] Loss of Internet link

[Michael E. Rentell]

These poetical strap-lines and literary responses are most uplifting. 
Clearly Kent Lug Org is an erudite group.
Regarding the practicalities, I shall try that. But it is only a trivial 
problem which I can cure in about 90 seconds each time I switch on so 
perhaps I should wait for the October (isn't it?) new edition of 
Mandriva and just upgrade from there. I usually get these upgrades on a 
DVD from Linux Format magazine so it doesn't entail a huge download.
Thanks for the advice, much appreciate your time and effort.
