Yes, I did. But you're missing my point. The two earlier distros did not
have this problem. So why should I have to employ a workaround to get
the distro to work. Beyond that since I'm off-line after I install 8.10,
and have basically erased my hard drive, I don't wanna chance that your
workaround won't work.
