Well, I am in the data center (2 hr drive, unfortunately)...

This is an Intel mother board. The front panel light labeled '!' is
lit. It isn't lit on the working server. I'm googling right now for
the meaning of this light, but if anyone knows off hand, please let me
know...

I have the cd1 and cd2, but not the livefs cd. I'm going to try to
find that right now.

Thanks: John
