I to have / on a traditional partition, ext4, and /boot on a small ext2 |
| 31 |
partition. Everything else is on LVM. I don't want a init thingy |
| 32 |
either. I had nightmares with that thing when I used Mandrake years |
| 33 |
ago. I can't recall the name of that thing that left me with no |
| 34 |
keyboard/mouse but I still remember that init thingy. Dang, what was |
| 35 |
that thing that did that? Anyway, as bad a taste as that other thing |
| 36 |
left, the init thingy is even worse. I still remember the init thingy |
| 37 |
10 YEARS later. The other thing was a few years ago. |

I bet Alan remembers. I was plenty pissed. That is likely the most |
| 40 |
pissed I ever been on this list. If that guy had been in front of me, |
| 41 |
I'd be in jail. I got to many trees around here. O-o |
