This is not the time to wipe data from the Dell given the info I have. We are currently using the MX OS and its hdd storage for purposes related to setting up the Dell in some useful manner. We are also using the Dell's USB ports for booting 'alternate' OSes which are useful for all kinds of purposes, W11 & W10 PE environments and their associated MSDOS functionality, and the time may come that we boot a live MX or LM to do something w/ the Dell's hdd. We are also using the Dell MX to copy things to USBs. Or remove them. > I'll start over tomorrow! That's fine; if there is something 'important' and 'reportable' in whatever messing about w/ the Dell has occurred recently that I don't know about, it would be helpful if you would share that info. -- Mike Easter
