Post #176,961 by drewk 9/29/04 9:09:32 AM Reply	No, the first one was bad for that reason He assumed I'd know the step I missed. I didn't. But since setting up new disks is something I have to do rarely, and expect to do very few times in the future, I really don't have any desire to absorb the lore. A real sysadmin knew what I wanted (a working filesystem[]) and told me the steps to do it. It's all* magic incantations at some level. This is one I just needed done. * Actually, all I cared about is that ever since I tried to put XP on the second disk I haven't been able to boot it without being there to hit Ctrl-D halway into the process. If that goes away, without having to crack the case (again) and unplug the damn drive I'm happy. === Implicitly condoning stupidity since 2001.
Post #176,963 by folkert 9/29/04 9:29:07 AM Reply	No. With Drew I ass-u-me a certain base level. But, I can see from your comments YOU don;t think of it that way. He understand what "man foo" does. He understands command line switches. He understands what "shift" will do inside a shell script. Basically he is a very competent user. I address the level of the user typically, when I am proven to have aimed a bit to high... I aim lower. And to Address you "undocumented advice" concern. Watch out. You give advice that isn't documented properly (cumbersomely documented not be be enough) I'll be on you like flies on Shiite. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* No matter how much Microsoft supporters whine about how Linux and other operating systems have just as many bugs as their operating systems do, the bottom line is that the serious, gut-wrenching problems happen on Windows, not on Linux, not on Mac OS. -- [link\|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1622086,00.asp\|source] Here is an example: [link\|http://www.greymagic.com/security/advisories/gm001-ie/\|Executing arbitrary commands without Active Scripting or ActiveX when using Windows]
