Current status report:
BSD hard disk failed many times in a row. I noticed no network, and no cd,
for 2 or 3 boots, then no booting (failed mid boot...) late last night it
started working again, but no network! well... I can play Mp3's and I can
still use windowmaker.... I tried to start the network from /etc/netstart,
but it claims I dont have permission f(as root?) so I checked, and netstart
is not executable! is that correct? I have no idea how to troubleshoot this
either... When I do ifconfig ne1, I get " o such interface". Im also getting
soft errors on wd0

Sigh.... network fun :) which is more fun? bind or sendmail? atleast with
bind your the only one that knows you goofed... sendmail... sigh... can be
embarrasing.

hmmm sounds like I have the option of installing on a separate box, building
qt, building tcl, building kde, debugging dependancies, paths, ... then
making a standalone konqueror tar, and hoping it works... sigh.... Im not up
for that right now...

I never liked galeon much... nor mozilla, nor netscape (well... I used to
like netscape... back in the 3.x days it was nice....) sigh is there a port
for IE?

yeah, I did.. by default it writes to disk (uses disk_writer output plugin),
changed that to the sun dirver, and it crashes, it only lists the sun driver
and disk out for output. It was a big fat pig too.... winamp isnt too bad
under windows, why is xmms so yucky?

That would be cool, if I had decent internet access... as it is I only have
one machine with a modem in it ( I reall aught to get around to putting a
modem in that gateway box I have... then I can atleast share the dialup
connection...
