kernel question..

[bruce]

kam...

hate to say it...

which is why this is off list... but your suggestion to essentially blow awy
work was totally f*ed up!!

i'm pretty much back.. at least to getting it to a working state.. over time
we'll figure out what we're missing.. but some apps that got toasted weren't
being used.. others that we need, we'll discover and repair...

and i'm not sure where you decided you have the ability to speak for 'the
list'... but keep on, and thanks for the earlier help!

peace...

Bruce,

Slow down! You are in too much of a hurry! You totally borked your FC2
setup. Your upgrade (?) to FC3 seems to also be borked.  Just start
over.  Insert FC3_CD1, reboot, and install over the current
partitions.  Do not attempt to preserve any data. That will be a waste
of your time as well as the list's.
