Grey and dry (and 14°C) in the morning. But for a change it doesn't become sunny, instead it begins to rain in the afternoon.

Theo is back from his holiday in Italy so we ease him back into work (put him on the deep side and give a gentle push :-)

And I lumber on on the trigger problem. I thought I saw a possibility to repeat the problem but a few hours testing later I am at a death end. So I retrace and try another tack.

 

In between I tried to install Corel Linux (from a free cover CD) on Yaku. Without success.
I tried a few versions of Caldera OpenLinux, a version of RedHat, now Corel all to no avail. Mind you it has probably nothing to do with Linux because I cannot install Windows on it either Neither Win95 not Win98, both distributions from Microsoft, want to talk to that box, the installation freezing up after loading the mouse driver. OTOH the hardware is working. I have installed and reinstalled OS/2 (V3 and 4) several times with nary a problem. And DOS (both V5 and 6 from Microsoft and V6 from DigitalResearch) work, even Win3.1 can be loaded.
Maybe I should try the old SlackWare distribution I have laying around. This doesn't have an automatic install routine so maybe I can actually get far enough in it, doing everything manually, to learn where the actual problem is. Of course, with Yaku in the office I cannot spend much time playing with it.

Adios
