The repost

At least he marked his new posting with "REPOST" prefix. Maybe just my
taste, but I prefer to see topics not splitted. If his problem is that
urgent, that waiting a few more hours isn't acceptable for him, he may
have better replied to his original posting and state that his trouble
needs some urgent hints to go on. (Always in the light that this is no
first-level support helpdesk but a community of volunteers.) My
impression when viewing the first posting - before the second arrived -
was, that something very severe must have happened with the host in
trouble, and that it would be better to take the time for a detailed
reply than a quick shot. Well, if the rescue boot hint was already
enough for the right direction ...
