If you can't ssh in so you can copy and paste system output, you can put it
on a USB drive.

Plug a USB drive into the schoolserver and, depending on the motherboard,
you might hear a series of system beeps as it mounts.

Type mount to see where it is.  Mine looks like this:

/dev/sdc1 on /media/usb0 type vfat (rw,noexec,nodev,sync,noatime)

Now you can redirect standard output to text files on the usb drive.

[root at schoolserver ~]# lspci > /media/usb0/lspci.txt
[root at schoolserver ~]# ifconfig -a > /media/usb0/ifconfig.txt
[root at schoolserver ~]# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules >
/media/usb0/udev.txt

It doesn't matter what you name them, just be descriptive.  And if you're
going to take them to a Windows machine, I'd put .txt as a file extension.

Unmount the usb drive.

umount /media/usb0

Now you can take that usb drive to your regular computer and copy and paste
the contents of those text files in an email for us.
