If you bring your broken Knoppmyth box I will bring mine.  I agree that the 
distro seems to be broken.  After much work and frustration it worked briefly 
and badly, but when it developed problems  and I reinstalled the newer 
Knoppmyth, it never would make a picture again.  I will be there at 9 AM for 
the next meeting and we can see if the collective mind is up to the task.
