--------------B8E69BF503F02F71CBA4368B Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I AM SORRY FOR MY REMARKS. I DIDN'T NEED TO SAY WHAT I SAID THE WAY I SAID IT, but i can send anyone copies of an email i got from someone who was quite sarcastic when there was no need to be! he has since changed his tone. so i am doing the same. AGAIN, I AM SORRY! i am just a little bit concerned because i am getting conflicting answers in the emails i have recieved privately. some of you have been very helpful and i am VERY THANKFUL AND IMPRESSED with the general tone of thie remarks i have seen. what generated my seemingly hostile tone, was that i had just gotten a forwarded message from someone trying to talk someone else out of linux. my attitude about everything in life is that you should put up or shut up. i had just written a polite message about the comparison between linux distributions and their installers. i am using linux-mandrake and suse-linux. suse has by far the better installer. as i wrote, i am wanting to install my system with vinum. someone told me that that can't be done in the initial installation. my subsequent hostility stems from the fact that i don't like having to do things twice. especially when i am told that what i am supposed to be using ( or in this case, soon to use) is superior to what i have now. i think what probably burns many of you, whether you want admit it or not, is that freebsd, no matter how great it's abilities, still like everything else has it's shortcomings. that is unless one of you want to declare before the world that freebsd is perfect and without fault. NOTHING IS PERFECT! I WOULD HAVE INSTALLED THIS SATURDAY, IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE FACT THAT I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE INSTALLATION PROCESS TWICE. SO IF SOMEONE HAS A TRULY DEFINATIVE ANSWER AS TO HOW TO SETUP VINUM IN ONE STEP, I WOULD BE PLEASED TO HEAR IT. IT WAS SIMPLY THE FACT THAT I CAN DO THIS IN ONE STEP IN LINUX WITH SUSE'S YAST PROGRAM, THAT I WAS TRYING TO BRING UP MY FRUSTRATION WITH THE PROSPECT OF HAVING TO DO THIS SOME OTHER WAY. --------------B8E69BF503F02F71CBA4368B Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html> <b><font face="Arial,Helvetica"><font size=+1>I AM SORRY FOR MY REMARKS.
