Slackware
finally, today i decided to burn those slackware iso's which were on a pc quest dvd for a really really long time.......3 mins to copy them......5 mins to burn 2 cd's.....all well....done in ubuntu....
bootin frm cd.....
pretty damn fast....
and what do i get...???
a command line
just whn i start wonderin what in the name of computin i shud do.....this thing just scrolled text tellin that i had to partition my disk using fdisk(again command line) and then run setup.....
with some fumblin and help from man pages i manage it....
install....
take some 20 mins....
all done...
i'm presented an option to install lil0...,,,i decline....i already have grub configured.....
all well till now....
reboot...
i hold my breath.....
as expected nothin new shows up in grub menu.....i go to the command line instead....
there i discover to my horror that grub does not support reiserFS...i dont panic...i attemp bootin into ubuntu....
for some darned reason it takes unusualy long......fails to bring up the GUI....falls back to command line.....
had to reinstall ubuntu again......
crap
i still have slackware....and iono how to use it....
i'll figure it out....someday....

and i
take back all the things i said to you
and i give it all away
