I already tried making one from scratch and also making the one inside |
66 |
the kernel. Both belly flopped and left me with nothing but errors. It |
67 |
never even tried to leave the init thingy environment. I think I posted |
68 |
them a good long while back but no clue what they were know. I just |
69 |
moved on to what was supposed to be "easy". Yea, right. :/ |
70 |
|
71 |
My concern is this, if it is this hard for me to get one working, if it |
72 |
ever breaks, I'm screwed. I know myself pretty well, if it breaks and I |
73 |
can't figure it out, I'll be looking for a install CD/DVD and fix it on |
74 |
a grand scale. This is how I got to Gentoo. I couldn't get Mandrake to |
75 |
work right and be stable, I switched. |

Well, it's supper time here. Maybe that will help, me at least. lol |
