Dale, this comment isn't meant as an insult. I honestly think you
would
be perfect for some QA or Testing job :)
But not on any project you wanted to finish on time ;-)
LOL :)
Seriously, if all the Open Source developers would make the software
reliable enough to pass his testing methods, there wouldn't be any grounds
for discussion :)
It would just work, always....

PS. I actually enjoy having people on the list with different levels and
types of experience. I think I probably learn more stuff via questions from
so-called "beginners" then from the "old-timers" ;)
Actually, thinking about it.
Dale, please do try what Neil suggested. Preferably also document what you do
so we have a few test cases :)

I did this many years ago. When I built my very first rig, I installed
Mandriva. Don't shoot me, I hadn't heard of Gentoo yet. I only knew
about Redhat and Mandriva at the time. Anyway, I had one heck of a time
installing the nvidia drivers. Lots of people had issues where their
GUI wouldn't come back up when they installed the drivers. So, since I
was a "fool" at the time, I made notes and such as to how I did mine.
When it worked, I did a howto on it from a "fools" point of view. I put
it on about three different sites. LQ, JL and one other one. It had a
HUGE amount of views. If followed, it worked. I think me explaining
from a beginners perspective helped a lot of people, plus I tried to
keep it simple, like me. lol
I think some of the reason I haven't grasped LVM is that it is somewhat
complicated and it is explained by folks that know the nuts and bolts of
it. It's like explaining Gentoo Linux to a windoze user who has never
seen Linux or even knows what a kernel is.
I'm still looking up howtos in hope of having a light bulb moment. I'll
have one, it's just a matter of when.
Alex, I saw your post. I read it a couple times already and am trying
to grasp it before replying. It has a lot of good info. May take me a
bit.
