F12 shutdown "oddity"

2010-05-22 Thread Dick Roark
I have just upgraded to F12. Basically, no problems except when I go through the gnome shutdown process, F12 seems to go into a suspended state, rather than shut-down (green power LED and fan stays on). From this state I can press the "power" button and it shuts down. This does not seem to damage

XSANE image save problem

G'mornin! I've already added the disk from blackie (he has the bad mboard). The F12 needed a reinstall, so that's going on now. It turns out that it isn't too bad (but it isn't too elegant either) specifying the disk in BIOS at boot. When I get everything working (should be today) I will get into
