Joepie, one tip: You never ever ever reinstall Linux! There's enough info in the log files to ultimately track down any problem. You got excellent advice here. For non Oolite problems go to www.linuxquestions.org. (Not that you can't ask about Oolite there anyway). The speed of response is usually ...
