[Klug-general] Gavin the computer man

[Michael E. Rentell]

I've looked for the motherboard booklet high and low. It is bound to 
turn up just as Gavin takes it away tomorrow :-)

Regarding the BIOS. That's the problem, nothing is bootable, nothing on 
the screen, no start-up, no access to CD/DVD R/W drive so I can't even 
boot to a 'live' distro. 'tis dead man. Just the dah-dit-dit-dit.

But I have great faith in Gavin, he's been in touch and will drop in 
tomorrow afternoon. Such excellent service.
