  • Subject: Rumors of our distruction are somewhat exagerated!

Well folks... I *THINK* we're back on the air!

I had some serious problems with Linux durring the reinstall... but I'm
pretty sure I have everything taken care of now.

The harddrive did indeed go bad... it had bee whining for quite some time
and just gave up it's ghost.  Luckily, I was able to get a clean backup
just prior to the last gasps.

Special thanks to Chris Rehm and Michael Witt for their generous donation
of 2 new 850mb hard drives.  Although I have yet to be able to USE those
drives, I have high hopes.

The problem boils down to a unix table called FSTAB that tells the OS where
to mount which partitions.  I had the old FSTAB loaded and the partition
table had changed between the old drive and the new one.

Anyways... we're running NOW and hopefully for the forseable future.  Keep
your wires crossed!
