I figured I'ld share a humorous story with yall. I somehow managed to hose up SuSE, not exactly sure how this happened, but anyways. I finally decided to just stick in the install media, and let her rip. About 1/2 of the way through the install process I got an error "Bad Media, cannot continue install proces" the disk ejected, and so I cleaned it off, stuck it back in and rebooted. Same error. At this time I was getting frustrated so I pulled out my old Gentoo disk, and decided to re-install Gentoo. Well long story short, as I started the copy process for the portage tarball, I started getting read errors. Turns out my DVD-Drive is going out, Doh! So now I get to do a stage 3 from the net install of Gentoo. In the meantime, I'm now sending you this email from within Links, FYI I can now confirm Gmail appears to function just fine under links. Moral of the story? Never count on that $70 DVD drive from Walmart to install your OS ;) Anyone else got a Doh! moment they care to share?
