Yea, verily, I say unto you that on this date (Sat, 8 May 2004 14:10:52 +1200) cr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> did appear within my Magick Viewing Screen and, being somewhat pleasantly supplicatory, did polemicize thusly:

This turns out not to be the case unless you are billed by the minute. I recently blew away my system (for something to do, OK?) and re-installed everything starting with a Libranet 1.9.1 CD containing mostly potato. Stripping, updating to the newest stable, then testing, then to unstable and getting the several other programs I need which weren't included on the original CD took <about> 35-38 hours on 56k dialup. I did it in several bouts across several successive nights and everything has come off without a hitch. (well, except that I am now back to the 2.4.3 kernel and still haven't addressed that) Cybe R.
