Subject: Tech support!<br>I know, I know -- you guys get bothered with this kind of BS often<br>
enough at family dinners & such.. but hey, at least this laptop is<br>
linux ;)<br>
<br>
A friend of mine in the grand rapids area toasted her laptop on a ubuntu<br>
update, and needs a local nerd to take a peek into it. Fairly certain<br>
it's a quick fix of just using sysresccd or something similar to chroot<br>
in and run some apt-get updates -- or worst-case-scenario, installing<br>
the latest ubuntu and importing her settings (evolution / desktop data<br>
is the key stuff she can't lose).<br>
<br>
Was hoping one of you would be up for helping her, I'll happily paypal<br>
$$$s to have it handled. Would need to be handled in a public place,<br>
without a 'drop-off and pick-up' style arrangement as you're all<br>
strangers.<br>
<br>
Any takers?<br>
