I was thinking about how long it took to "train" voice recognition software - thousands of different people - no way..... With a list like echelon though....hmmm...
Terrorists, Spys & subversives must learn to imitate Donald Duck........
"Specify the mount point of the root directory" it sez... Hmm...."/root" types I.... "The mount point for the root directory is not specified" it sez...
Repeated 3 times until I figured out that all it wanted was "/"...
2 or 3 lines of text would have simplified this no end, & why does it even ask? You can't call it "tulips" instead of "/".....
All the fuss over Armed & Winlinux... Peanut already does it better. Phat is O.K. but IIRC does not give you the option of installing to an ex2 partition. Peanut's got KDE, Nav 4.61 Kernel 2.2.12, X 3.3.5, latest libs & much more - Faster too! (he sez:)). You can install it in a DOS loop (unsure of the details but NOT UMSDOS)or do a true ex2 partition (FIPS included). All in a 48MB.bz + 5MB.zip. Fast download - mirrored @ linuxberg + site not/.ed. Good support on the message board. This was the first distro I tried & it is the one I'm using now (can't get COL 2.2 to work with my Vchip:o) the homepage http://metalab.unc.edu/peanut/ is worth checking out just for the humor....
Actually, you'll probably find that MZB engages your "predictable concerns". Read one of her books....you'll probably read the rest of them like I did...
Why could they not use XF86 3.3.5? I've got 2.2 & it don't support my chip.... neither does 2.3... 3-4 minutes into the CD install I get the BEIGE SCREEN OF DEATH!!!! (my fault I know - RTFD..). Caldera's idea of a fix for this is to refer their unhappy customer to the SUSE(!!)website, where a fix has been posted. No mention at all of xf86.org....
If Mandrake decides to include 3.3.5 - bugger FTP - i'll BUY the dammed thing.....
Dumped me 1st try 5.36pm (GMT + 12) been back & forth - in & out + a couple of AOL!'S since - sometimes fast - sometimes freezes. ftp'd Peanut last night - up till 2.30 - does anyone else use it? - the guy has a sense of humor. still haven't run Xconfig - not good to be root when you're typing '1' as '!' & cant find '+'

What suprises me is that Microsoft have not been more active....
Watch the machine shift into top gear when Corel gets released
They must be %#!&* themselves.....
Considering the fact that it's the only major app that can bring Linux to it's knees?

wish they'd said more...

owned by M$ you say!
no wonder its so goddam boring....
It wasn't one of her better ones....written for the mainstream IMHO...
Previous, "The Mists Of Avalon" much much better..
