Andy, if you aren't behind dd-wrt for your home network, don't pretend to
tell me what I can't do
I think your contributions to this list do a great job of telling
people what you can't do.
Don't impress on me, your paranoid ideas about how I should run MY
computers
By all means, go with God and become an example to others if nothing
else!
Thanks,
Andy
Welp, I spent the morning from just after 6 my time, to around 2:30 pm.
downloading and installing bookworm, and so far only kmail has refused
to work. This is tbird, and synaptic I am happy to say Just Works now.
I stripped the usb ports and disconnected the drives I did not want
formatted, installed, then reconnected everything, assembled the raid
and mounted it on top of /home, put the swap that is part of the raid
into fstab, and while I haven't done all of my daily driving yet, I'm
actually grinning a bit, so far everything but kmail has Just worked.
That is far better than any install of bullseye ever was.
I should have done the upgrade a week ago. Yeah, I'm a stubborn old
coot, so thank you all for trying to help with a bullseye install that
was broken from the git-go.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
