Hi Randy. You might think this odd, but I've been on this list for a while
now, and I still label myself "newbie". 10 years from now, I think I'll still
label myself "newbie". By choice.
Full installation is never what it seems. I couldn't compile programs after a
full install - that surely doesn't seem right, does it? I had to install a
couple more RPMs thru the software manager before I could.
Hdparm was not on my powerpack version of 8.2 either. I went to RPMnet and
d/l'ed it from there. This was talked about on the list. There is a
difference in the download and Powerpack versions fo 8.2. Best way to stay
ahead and keep informed is to keep that "newbie" mentality and subscribe to
the newbie, expert and cooker mailing lists. Lurk a lot, absorb all the
wisdom that flows thru here, and post only when you really need help, or can
help someone else. Do NOTHING but lurk on the cooker list. <grin>
Hope this helps!
