Sorry about that. In another stroke of bad luck my desktop's mouse
stopped working at the same time my hard drive started acting up so
I've been tabbing around firefox and using Gmail's "Quick Reply" which
(predictably) top-posts. The mouse is working again now.

I guess my problem is getting the laptop back on the wireless-only
network with a madwifi card when the LiveCD doesn't have a net.ath0
interface.
I did just try chrooting into my laptop's /dev/hda3 copy on my desktop
system with:
chroot /home/grant/hda3 /bin/bash
and the vi command always seg faults. Does that mean the /dev/hda3
image is done-for and I should just start the laptop over from scratch
and import my /etc/ and /home/ directories when it's re-installed?
