It's always a good idea to learn things the complicated way.
I was a KISS fan by age 3 or 4 thanks to heavy exposure from my brother and, of course, the bad-ass makeup and costumes.
I'm pretty sure the problem has something to do with the fact the this machine connects to the gateway machine via a crossover cable and not through a hub.
I always thought the attraction of keeping a blog was less about impressing the rest of the blog intelligentsia and more about writing about whatever it is that you enjoy writing about.
After wading through all those error messages, I did finally get my custom "Welcome to Greyledge Linux" login prompt, which I have to say is pretty damn cool.
Well, despite my comments earlier this afternoon that I didn't think I was up to debugging my new Linux From Scratch installation, I've been back at it for most of the night. It's 10:30, and I'm going to bed.
I took care of the worst of the boot errors; the biggest (and easiest to fix so far today) error was a simple misplaced line break in one of the main startup scripts - a cut/paste glitch from GNOME/Mozilla on the other partition.
...And a new refrigerator, and a dishwasher, and a few more appliances.
What blew my mind was the blurb that showed up on Newsforge - it contained a quote of Wired's quote of a comment made in the original Slashdot item.
These pleasant evenings where it's not quite warm and not quite cool are actually something I quite like about southern California.
I'll be in good shape if I can add Zope, Python and PyGTK to my resume.
