I really don't know how anybody manages to fix a middling computer
problem without having a second computer. You nearly always need to
research something, or yank a drive and copy files over in one
direction or the other. Trying to do that on a banjaxed computer is
really difficult.
Yep. You can sometimes make progress with a Live Image but I keep an
ancient laptop (circa 2008) around just for this.
