  Dumb, stupid question
 
Todd, how do you pronounce your last name? Is it Leema/en or Layma/en? Erin (25 years ago, 20-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Oh, let's not go there. (25 years ago, 20-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Oh no? How is it *not* science fiction? Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 20-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Science Fiction (was Re: Transit Time to Mars)
 
(...) I'm deriving it from Ptraci, Ptaclusp, and the like. I've also read a discussion of this, though whether it was on Usenet or elsewhere, I can't recall. I'll look into it if you're really curious. (...) When I say substandard, by the way, I (...) (25 years ago, 20-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: KDE/new Redhat install (was Re: Has anyone ever been)
 
(...) Ught. Nevermind. Or at least I'll just install it and ghost it like I do the other OSes on that test machine. Not much call for testing the stuff I've been doing for local companies under Linux anyway... (25 years ago, 20-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: KDE/new Redhat install (was Re: Has anyone ever been)
 
(...) The text mode install isn't actually the old one; it just looks exactly like it. But it's still been rewritten from scratch in python, and just like the gui version is full of bugs. Maybe next version will be better. (25 years ago, 20-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: KDE/new Redhat install (was Re: Has anyone ever been)
 
(...) No way. I TOTALLY missed that. Or ignored it, or something. Oh well, I got a machine at home I'm not using for anything (233/64mb - dead 5 gig drive but I've got a 6 gig spare) - I'll set it up and play with some stuff here at home. (25 years ago, 20-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: KDE/new Redhat install (was Re: Has anyone ever been)
 
(...) Yeah, the new installer is broken -- they've TOTALLY screwed up the net-install. *sigh*. And with 6.0, they'd FINALLY gotten all the bugs out. But there is one small consolation -- you can still do the install in text mode by selecting that at (...) (25 years ago, 20-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: KDE/new Redhat install (was Re: Has anyone ever been)
 
(...) Me either. My two co-admins and I just sat there and barely contained our urge to vomit while we went through the installer. If I hadn't feared the 40 gig drive would give <6.1 fits I would have scrounged around for my 5.2 or 6.0 cds... (...) (...) (25 years ago, 20-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: KDE/new Redhat install (was Re: Has anyone ever been)
 
(...) *drool* (...) And again... (...) I've heard about that. I haven't heard of anyone who actually liked it. (...) I suppose that says something about IDE, large drives, and servers. (...) Probably not. (...) Stop it, you're making me jealous.. (...) (25 years ago, 19-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
