This was done, to some extent, in various text-based systems way back when. To what extent, I'm really not certain, but there were at least a few dedicated to that sort of thing.
Just a little bit of history repeating.
Just do the mkinitramfs part, and you'll be fine. Thanks much! I'll give it a shot when the laptop comes back to me.(I'm in Quebec, she's in Ohio...and away with the laptop in Iowa til sometime in January. Whee!) When I first gave 7.10 a try on the laptop, there didn't seem to be a fix around.
Where possible, I use Ubuntu. I haven't had experience with Apple products since I was forced to in highschool. Yeah, LOGO experience sure has been a big help....
Anyway, Ubuntu. I like it. Quite a bit. There are issues, to be sure, but I've mostly not had them.
I run 7.10 on my desktop(Windows won't even install, anymore) and things have been pretty problem free. The exception(s) are when I'd get cocky and tinker with something I really shouldn't have.
My laptop(well, my fiancees laptop. She gives it to me except when she's on business trips.) dual boots Windows XP Pro, strictly for playing City of Heroes, and Ubuntu 7.04. I tried 7.10 on it, but due to some kernel(?) issues it was ridiculously slow to boot(I also couldn't get Compiz working on it, though it works just fine under 7.04).
Even then, if the laptop had a better video card(It has an ATI Radeon Xpress 200M), I could probably do without Windows and run it under WINE. The card's just barely enough to run it under Windows.
Th' Legendary Shack Shakershttp://www.cockadoodledont.com/ are what I'm usually listening to, these days.(If anyone swings by, you can listen to some of their stuff. Ichabod's probably my favorite of what's available there.)
He might want to consider talking to Simutronics about using their HeroEngine http://www.heroengine.com/ (I"ll get the hang on/. linking someday!) They might hook him up cheap.(Pricing varies, it seems. Educational+Good Publicity=Cheap(??).
Really depends on where he's having "issues", though.
My personal choice is City of Heroes/City of Villains, though. Sadly, I have to do without until my fiancee gets back from her business trip(s)...sometime early next year. O, woe is me!(She has the laptop I use to play and I don't have quite enough for a system to run it. If I can scrape up the cash, I might go with a low end System76 machine)

I'm broken.

...and I just spent the last of my mod points earlier. :(
Someone mod this one for me?

That'd be good enough for me to give the last book a go...if I had read the rest of them. My tastes (mostly) mesh with his.
He also recommends giving a book called Elantris(by Sanderson) a read.

Just for the record(because I know you were all wondering), I've no relation to Symbolics.
I do want their domain, though. Bastards!
The news post for that comic is amusing, as well.

My local traditional library was doing just fine, last week, too. :(
Bastards!
Rotten, filthy, scum-sucking bastards!
Don't let this stop you(or anyone else!) from trying.

There's always a chance going against this will fall within his/her personal "agenda".
Maybe they just didn't have a chance to respond.
Last time I wrote(well, emailed) my MP(Bernard Patry) a form letter, I got a nice (postal)mail response in return.
I bet they appreciate regular ol' mail even more.
So...yeah. Don't let a lack of response keep you from trying again. Just...don't spam them. That won't get us anywhere.
Me? Heavens no! ....I don't have a Mac, never mind OSX. ;)
