Help! I killed my GUI!

[Jordan Erickson]

Mike,

On the server - Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal

Or, CTRL+ALT+F1. Make sure you're running from the LTSP server though, 
as CTRL+ALT+F1 from a thin-client will only give you the tty for the 
chroot - which isn't where we want to re-install edubuntu-desktop.

Cheers,
Jordan
