	I am now on that machine, running Ubuntu 8.04 on another 
partition. I have done the following (knowing F8 to be, or have been, 
installed on /dev/sda3). I see a couple of new things; if any look to be 
of any use, let me know what to do and how, and I'll try to get what info 
I can.

root@SblzUb:~# cd /
root@SblzUb:/# ls
bin    etc         initrd.img      media  root  TEST  vmlinuz
boot   Grubberies  initrd.img.old  mnt    sbin  tmp   vmlinuz.old
cdrom  home        lib             opt    srv   usr
dev    initrd      lost+found      proc   sys   var
root@SblzUb:/# mount -t ext3 /dev/sda3 TEST
root@SblzUb:/# cd TEST
root@SblzUb:/TEST# ls
bin   Grubberies  lost+found  net                   root     sys   var
boot  halt        media       opt                   sbin     TEST
dev   home        misc        proc                  selinux  tmp
etc   lib         mnt         rhinstall-stage2.img  srv      usr
root@SblzUb:/TEST#  file rhinstall-stage2.img
rhinstall-stage2.img: Squashfs filesystem, little endian, version 3.1, 
106729893 bytes, 12005 inodes, blocksize: 131072 bytes, created: Wed May

root@SblzUb:/TEST# 


	To the best of my knowledge and belief, "halt" and "rhinstall-
stage2.img" are new -- and both show up a different color on my screen 
than most of the rest. I'm not sure whether anything else is new. 

	I'm thinking that rhinstall thing (note the date!), whatever it 
is, *might* just maybe still contain the bug report, or at least 
something of interest to those who understand such things. But all I know 
of .img files is that I have seen that suffix somewhere before.
