Re: December VFP meeting

Actually, there were great lessons from the meeting.
?
1.? Having backups is a good idea.
2.? Five geeks together can make a problem much worse than it is.
3.? Often, in the real world, it is something else that is really wrong.
4.? Maintaining detachment is important, even when it is three years of code at stake.
5.? When something goes wrong, the caffeine and carbs consumption increases exponentially (banana peppers in my case).
?
How many times have you others run into this where something just craps out and you beat your head against the wall for a LONG TIME only to learn that something very different somehow happened to cause the problem at just the right time to make it look like it was what you did.? It certainly SEEMED like explorer was at fault, and after defragging without a surface scan, a bad sector sure sounded plausable.? So breaking the system into the smallest pieces possible would have helped here (read - safe mode, NO NETWORK).? When I get wierd problems like this I will often strip a system down to just MB & video card to see if things get better, adding?cards and software one at a time.
?
I'd been wanting to get SUSE 9 installed and was happy to see just how clean it was.? Jim's suggestion of making a catalogue of hardware is GREAT and I am going to attempt to follow through on it for my own installs.? And I'm hoping Jim will follow through with his idea of getting the definitive wine config info from Will.? I haven't done a dual boot system and am really impressed with how LILO handles this, not even needing to boot from an active partition or a primary partition.
?
It seems like we are really close to being able to do FOX over Linux.? I really like the idea of demos involving installing linux, wine, and vfp on a system and will volunteer my notebook since I can restore my win2k image so easily from CD.? If we could get wine set up properly and then just make an RPM from the finished install, we could probably do the whole thing in around an hour, having time to actually do some fox on the test platform.

Subject: [madfox_vfp] December VFP meeting

There was more than the smell of mistletoe and holly in the air at last night's VFP UG meeting. I'm sure everyone could smell the apprehension in the air as we worked on putting Suse Linux 9 on PJ's computer. There certainly were some tense moments and as a testament to our concern we all stayed until we knew PJ was going to get a good nights sleep.
?
The meeting ended at about 10:45 pm and that must have?broken some sort of record.
?
I thought the meeting was very enlightening and helpful for us all to see the mechanics of loading a Linux operating system.
