Guess what I'm doing right now??
« on: August 06, 2003, 07:44:02 PM »
That's right, I'm unpacking my new AmigaOne board which just came in today, and preparing to put it in the decked out case I've had for months!  I'll let you know if I have any problems!

What?  No?  What were you thinking?

This is one of the smaller rewards of havign lots of kids and a president who likes refunding excess taxes!  Hopefully I'll have everything up by tomorrow evening and I'll post from it then!  (Using what as a browser?  Dunno yet.)

Sorry I haven't answered back with how much I enjoyed my new AmigaOne BUT.........
Truth is, I've spent the last several days  kicking, swearing (OH DARN!) and throwing things at it.  I kept thinking "I'm not that stupid, and installing LINUX can't really be that hard!," but every time I got to the second install disk, I got a bunch of error messages and a "retry" option.  Finally, figuring that I'm too smart and a simple install cant fool me this badly, I e-mailed Forefront Technologies.  Less than 24 hours later, I received the mostly good news:  I am too smart.  Installing Linux is not that hard.  The CDs in this batch were corrupt.  New ones are already on their way.  Good service, I say, although I still will have to wait to see my Amiga in action.  Sob.  Sniffle.

P.S.  One day was wasted because the brand new DVD drive I bought at FRY's ALSO didn't work.  i'm beginning to think it's a "ME" thing.
