[svlug] new disk is installed

[Alvin Oga]

hi ya svlug'erz

- o key dough key ..

- i just finished installing "test" ( etch ) into the 
  new 300GB seagate disk ..

	- i did aptitude update and dist-upgrade
	but i didnt check for anything much else
	but it did get a newer kernel

- see below for all the gory fun details of hair pulling

- time for bedtime

--------

first time around ...  cdrom and cd media didn't like each otehr
	so it hung during the installs ( 2x )
	- cdrom keep skipping around ..

2nd time around  ... new cdrom drive worked fine but i used
jfs for all partitions ...  guess the installer doesn't like jfs 
	- the install hung on portmap ... and didnt get to load
	the mbr ..
	- knoppix couldnt mount the rootfs either ...

3rd time around ... xfs the sucker ...
	- now it hangs on printconf since there is no printer
	installed on the pc .. after timeout ( 5min? ) ..
	it seems to go thru okay ...

	- lilo is a wee bit old too 

	- the silly "icon" on the upper right is good for
	windoze winie's to do an "automated online update"
	w/o typing "aptitude update ... etc .. "

oh well ... at least the old systemis now back online 
and we now have a new system disk up now ..

	oldpc#  mount /New-home /mnt/new-home

	oldpc# cd /old-home ; cp -dpar * /mnt/new-home
	and do the same for any other user data

	( you guyz can do that )

	than make a tape or dvd media or something

	harden the sucker too ( the new disk )
