You know how once you solve a computer (or any other type of) problem, you tell yourself that you’ll never forget how to solve it if it happens again, since you just wasted 27 hours of your life figuring out the solution?
And what happend next month after you’ve had to deal with a dozen other issues, and same problem comes up again? Yes, you end up spending 22 hours (because you remembered 5% of the original solution)…

Yesterday I brought up the HTPC (Athlon 2000) and after a few HDs got shuffled, (put the 160 gig into the Athlon 2000 machine which will be the workstation, and put the 120 gig from the HTPC into the new server machine Sempron 2400) I blew away everything ion the 120 gig drive, and proceded to install SuSE SLICK 10.0.
