... mine would fly tonight!

• getting suse linux 8.2, sounds interesting (although i used to mistrust everything past 7.2)


• installing suse linux 8.2, everything alright


• noticing that 8.2 calls my primary hd /dev/hde and my raid-disk /dev/hda... strange. ignoring for now.


• trying to boot windows xp (after quite some time), realizing that i misconfigured grub


• reconfiguring grub (taking some time9 and realizing that i don't really understand the concept


• deciding to kill grub and reinstall good old lilo


• realizing that /dev/hde kills lilo, too


• reinstalling 8.2 for heaven's sake, this time using lilo right from the start


• deciding to check mails (mozilla, 1.5 not yet installed on 8.2). booting xp


• getting 'autochk missing, skipping autochk' and a nice clean reboot (with a bluescreen i can't see)


• inserting the windows xp-cd. selecting 'repair'. doing fixmbr and fixboot. ignoring everything.


• rebooting and getting 'ntldr missing'.


• somehow writing this entry and cursing all this mess...
