Lennart, I said it was an option.  I didn't suggest it was the only 
option.  The use of a Knoppix cdrom means _I_ see the errors rather than 
expecting someone to read them over the phone.  Most people don't 
understand what they are reading and so can't convey the info easily 
(having them just read words or characters off the screen is not 
sufficient, trust me).  In some data centres the staff are specifically 
not supposed to help in this way.

In addition if things go really bad I can do everything I need to do over 
ssh.  Talking someone through complicated shell commands is about 100 
times harder than the approach I'm suggesting.
