Well, CHarley passed us by. I had all 5 hard drives removed and ready for evac, but we didn't. So around 1400 I reinsterted 4 of the 5 drives (the fifth is for a computer that I need to re-purpose) and brought up Windows. There was a hiccup with the network but the router and cables fixed that. So I boot up and log in and get gort running, and then hit the browser.

No browser, shortcut not found. Investigate. Oh, no decondary drive? Why? Jiggle cables, nothing. Inspiration strikes. I have the wrong drive in the box, of course Windows knows nothing of ext2fs. Swap drives, everything comes up.

So everything's okay now.
