	Hmmm.... Contrary to my post, that machine is not accepting ssh; 
I get a note saying "no route to host."  Having upgraded with fedup, I 
have no medium that I could boot to rescue. Maybe Knoppix, or one of its 
ilk, will let me do something....

	Later -- very weird : with a Knoppix 7.0 CD in the drive, the 
machine told to boot that, it promptly booted to Fedora!

	I edited /etc/hosts to look like the one on my #1 PC, rebooted, 
and got the Knoppix CD out of the drive. It duly booted, by way of Grub 
or Grub2, to a login screen, which let me log in.

	Many, many thanks!!
