Maxim, things have move on in many basic ways - one of which is that devices |
| 13 |
are automounted these days using udevd. If your system is not up to date |
| 14 |
across the piece, some software will no doubt will complain with whatever is |
| 15 |
left behind. The fact that you are running a slim install means that you |
| 16 |
lasted this long on e.g. a really old kernel. |

Since dial up is inadequate to readily keep up to date and if you have more |
| 19 |
than one machine seriously painful, you may also want to consider boa for |
| 20 |
sharing your distfiles across your LAN: |
