Mccmedia.com is back on-line, and the disk drive is quiet... but it's the
same drive.  Just couldn't get Linux to play friendly with a new controller.
And then the disk got very, very quiet... machine wouldn't boot.  One cable
replacement later, all seems to be well for now.  But instead of installing
the second disk and copying across, I'm going to make sure I have a
completely up-to-date backup before messing further with this system.  And
since it's a painfully slow machine (a Pentium 266 MHz, I was somewhat
surprised to see), and I have a PII motherboard here, I'm thinking I should
finally upgrade the darn thing (especially since I'm now collecting a heck
of a lot e-mail for work).  Just need to buy an ATX case for the mobo.
Tomorrow, perhaps.
