I did not get ANY documentation with the new box, not even a sheet of
paper indicating what the various switches on the front did. Thanks to
Serge for pointing out the halt button. I'd figured out the reset one.
Once I got it into single user mode, and then into safe gui mode I found
out it was a real dummy problem.
I'd been given an official ip number overnight, and I replaced
the temp one in /etc/rc.config with the new real one, but had not updated
/etc/hosts. Ho Hum.
Thanks for the help.
