yeah I agree. I just decided that since everything is nicely configured
for the hardware, that I'd leave it, but instead, I've hit a road block
and just this morning, when I realized that I need a new gcc version,
that I can't be held hostage to these folks and I need to reinstall an
OS that I want. U haven't done it yet. I have to guess with grub what
the USB is, and it will take a bit of hacking.
