If it is a recurrent problem that has been fixed in the past then I
don't see how a BIOS upgrade will fix it. What did they do to fix it
previously
es immediately (see post #5

If find it odd that a BIOS upgrade fixes the problem, the problem
recurs and a further upgrade fixes it again.

Then change the disk in the laptop and use clonezilla again to
re-create the image on the new disk. Then you can use gparted of
course to increase the partition size to use the rest of the disc, if
that is what you want to do (using the gparted live cd).

I believe cat works fine to join binary files. The question is

You say it switches off after 10 mins, what happens if you set it (in
Brightness and Lock) to 5 mins? What if you set it to 1 hour?

everything worked out of the box, and any minor issues I had were
easily sorted. The only proviso is that I do not know about the

e the laptops that pcspecialist
sell. I believe that all their laptops are Clevo but don't know that
for certain. Certainly the Genesis IV that I bought recently is a
Clevo.
Did my earlier email not get through where I said that already?

Show us the command you are typing and the error (and tell us which
folder you are in in the terminal). Preferably copy/paste it out of
the terminal (Ctrl+Shift+C to copy from terminal).

When you say log-on to desktop time do you mean the time between
logging on and getting to the desktop, or do you mean the time taken
to boot the PC?
