Journal gargan's Journal: Spacial Browsing and Install Nightmares 1
First off, I'm reading the GoneME (how the fuck would you pronounce that?) thread, and I just want to say, wtf is wrong with spacial browsing, and for that matter, why does everyone think it's new? I always liked it even before I knew there was a fancy name for it. Why would you want everything in the same window? Use an xterm if you want to be in one directory at a time. When copying between folders, spacial is much better.
Anyway, I've had nothing but trouble trying to install Linux on my computer (again). I try booting with "bare.i nodma" and I get a new problem every time! Once I finally got it all installed and on boot it told me my filesystem was irrevocably fucked. So I re-partitioned, did a tedious full format of all partitions, and tried again. Well, now the installer simply segfaults, every time. Btw, in case you couldn't tell from the 'bare.i' thing, I'm trying to install Slackware, version 10, no less.
Mandrake shits itself, and I haven't tried Suse again since that's what I was trying to get away from, but it looks like Suse is the only one that works! I guess I'll go home tonight and try to install Suse again. I knew it was a bad idea getting rid of it.
So in conclusion, anyone got any idea wtf is wrong with my computer? btw, when I don't use nodma, packages simply fail to install with errors like 'corrupted package', even tho that same package will install fine when I try again, but another package that worked last time will fail.
