The only one that I do not see is s2io. |
| 61 |
Not sure why they show on boot not being loaded, when they apparently |
| 62 |
are springing to life. |

X has started, and as it did the nvidia logo displayed. I never turned |
| 65 |
it off in xorg.conf, and I am looking at my very nice WindowMaker |
| 66 |
display and background. Link below is for the pic, if interested, nice |
| 67 |
picture, my wife was amused. |

The Allman Brothers live at the Filmore is playing from my recently |

installed Audacious player, which took the place of the now removed XMMS. |

Openoffice started up! It better after all these hoops I have jumped! |

What a ride just for Openoffice, but learned a bit, now if it just |
| 98 |
sticks in my head! The hard part of it all. |
| 99 |
|
| 100 |
So I guess I will delay that nice upgrade of my hard drive to that 10K |
| 101 |
SATA. 8-( |
| 102 |
I figured if things went so bad that I had to start over, then I would |
| 103 |
at least upgrade the drive, been wanting to do that for a while. |
| 104 |
|
| 105 |
So the only mystery is why the modules appear not to load on boot. |
| 106 |
|
| 107 |
Daniel, and all others, thanks again, you made the difference. |

P.S. now up to package 17 |
