Dear David,

After sending the last email, I decided to try the -phigh again and it is 
working as we speak.  I am getting a crash report right now.  I will send the 
whole report so I don't miss anything.  Perhaps it will report why it did not 
work when last tried.

I am sending this email even if when I remove the CD it boots normally.  In 
any event I sure appreciate the prompt help.  It sure looks like a command 
for me to remember.  I am reading somewhat as it works.  It seems to be 
cleaning, fixing up stuff.  If that is the case, and if it works, what a 
powerful command.  Is there any concern attached to using the command by 
a newbie?  In just finished, so I will copy then send.

To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>".
See "man sudo_root" for details.
