 WC> Ummm, I do it usually in in  4 1/2 hours.

 RC> Then why are you still working on the box after 4 months?

I wasn't until 2 1/2 weeks ago.

I followed your advice and I needed just that long to recover _most_
of what was on what remained of the mangled ext3 file system.
That was NO party let me tell you.

Oh goody for you.

Had it under control until you came along.
Perfect once more after recreating the file system on hda1
which you advice mangled it.

100 percent perfect and done before noon.
See I took sone precautions against your _advice_.

Now Scott Little is getting pretty annoyed with this useless
chatter between me and my stalker of these last 14 years
so what's just say we pretent one another does not exist?


 WC> However your advice caused such wreakage it took me

 RC> Its all my fault Wayne, didnt you say you could get a box up in 4.5
 RC> hours?


Sure, did it this morning but recovering badly mangled files
from a mangled ext3 FS is another matter and takes longer.

End result I learned a LOT from bad advice and knew not to boot
to the new install until I first copied over the xorg and X86 
configuration files AS THIS IS WHAT CAUSES THE CONFLICT BETWEEN
THE MOTHERBOARD BIOS and THE NVIDIA CARD BIOS I shout for the LAST time.

IOW's EXACTLY what I maintained from the first.


 RC> Why didnt you just reinsert the Slackware Cd and reinstall? 4.5 hours
 RC> versus 2.5 weeks, no-brainer there.

And that's what I finished doing THIS MORNING in 4 1/2 hours including ALL
upgrades to software and configuration files. 


 WC> Now if you'd kindly stop baiting me and stalking me
 WC> these last 14 years Merry Christmas.

 RC> 14 years!!

Yup.

 RC> First off, it hasnt been 14 years, I havent known of your existence
 RC> that long, perhaps you have me confused with someone else?

Zero chance of that.
Only one I know that remotely resembles you is Breeze.
Apologies to Breeze.

 WC> You just couldn't even leave Christmas unsullied could you.

 RC> I have done no such thing, besides arent you a atheist, isnt this just
 RC> another day for your kind?

My kind?

Any more posts from you shall be replied to in Fidonews
posted from Xaramata in Austrailia where you can't through your 
weight around.

Thus giving EVERYONE else in here a break.

As is your custom Fidonews is just about another dead echo
with an assist from one other.


... He does the work of 3 men...Breeze, Westley & Angelo
