As I mentioned a week ago, I was installing FreeBSD on
one of my MiniPCs. After a couple of false starts it
all came into focus, everything working good, got SSH
and Tiger-VNC and XFCE that worked first time. Was
installing the other packages I wanted. ALMOST got there ...
THEN ... an error or two in an install ... and the
system FROZE. On reboot, hell, it asked where /bin/sh
was. TOTALLY hosed.
I'm not 13 with a closet full of Jolt Cola and
chips ... NOT going to spend days/weeks/months
trying to undo that level of mess. So, it's GONE,
won't try it until well into the next full distro.
Made an OpenBSD stick ... try THAT tomorrow .....
LOL!
I upgraded a raspberry Pi and it wiped the config changes I had made to BIND. Bang goes the house DNS...
Took most of yesterday to fumble towards a config that worked. Programmers keep changing stuff so the fix that worked last time doest work this time...
...sigh...
