To me at least it does. As a child I broke the toys I wanted to
inspect when *I* wanted to, not when my mom had money to buy new
ones.
But just the other day I told you that I am way behind with my
normal work because of the extra amount of time invested in
installing, configuring, asking, rebooting, etc. My M6 partition
reached max mount counts after 2 days!
And to tell the best: I'm still no step further on my way yet.
Kernel compiles fine now but I haven't reached what I wanted in
the first place, connection to internet via ISDN.
My ISP tells me that my box doesn't switch to ppp. So I compiled
ppp into the kernel.
Starting pppd in a console does what it is supposed to do: giving
me lines of crap as output and timing out eventually. That's ok.
So as a last attempt I'll check with the isdn4linux list if they
know some answers. I think it's too OT here to send all the
config files and error messages and logs to inspect.

As one of my ex-wives put it: I want to get excited when *I* want
to!
You get why she's ex?
