Comment 3 for bug 113513

working with XP changed the date to print an excel-sheet with a historic date only to avoid confusion because the work-sheet hadn't changed.

This led to a hanging splash screen and killing X left me with a shell were I could fix the problem with fschk. Nothing for a first time user!

I kept cool because linux has proofen incredible solid for the last years and once in the shell fchk showed me exactly what it didn't like.
