[svlug] next steps for the svlug machine

[Rick Moen]

Quoting Alvin Oga (alvin at mail.Linux-Consulting.com):

> the "new svlug disk" is in the current svlug.svlug.org server

Again, my apologies for not understanding this fact -- but you didn't
really make it very obvious.  FYI, you might want to clarify that 
matter on svlug at lists.svlug.org.  You seem to have mentioned it in
this post:

  - 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



Earlier, in
http://lists.svlug.org/archives/svlug/2006-September/053606.html , you
said:

  - i'll throw in a freebie ( a new 300GB disk ) from fries


(That's very cool, by the way.  Thank you!)

But it wasn't really clear that that's what you'd _done_.  In fact,
screw it -- I'll just post this reply.  ;->


OK, now that I'm clearer on what you'd done, I'm on-board with you.
Thank you for taking the trouble!  That does indeed sound like a _very_
worthwhile plan for restoring a good, usable system in the short term.
