    aptitude install gkrellm


You have no idea how much relief this brings me.

Thanks for your help.

I think the missing magic was that mysql wasn't stopping. I'll add a=20
warning to the wiki.


I've turned off video expansion in BIOS and my console no longer=20
corrupts. It's running vga=3Dnormal, I'll experiment some more with that.=

When I've sorted all the bits out, I'll put up a document and send a=20
link to here.
