Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: hackers-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, Still gloating about not needing a root disk? The latest red hat linux requires TWO root disks! from their beta readme: "You need two root disks now due to the ELF binaries and to perl5's increased size." hmm. For those wondering about our big machine here which was crashing a lot... I decided to make sure terminator power was only applied at the ends of the chain and found that not only was every drive applying terminator power, one drive was jumpered to an undefined term power setting. argh. The machine's now been up 2 days without a hitch. oh, and I couldn't resist. please don't kill my message. ------------------------------ From: "Jordan K.
