MM-ccxxxiii     Sunday

 

2000-08-20

 


After a rainy night we get a warm and sunny morning, with clouds drifting in in the afternoon. Followed by rain, lightning and far off rolling thunder.

With 16°C at 6:00 it was a bit too warm for running. Some weeks ago I took another route which turned out too short. This week I took yet another route, this time at least as long as the usual one. But with two bridges crossing the railroad it's more taxing.

I tried to install the new main board in the old AT case and while it fits the old plastic supports didn't fit the right holes so I had to move them around. The box is quite old and the supports turned out to be very brittle. So now I don't have enough supports left. I also realized that this case has only one 3.5 bay so I need a set of rails to fit the hard disk in one of the three 5.25 bays.
Bad planning.

And later I hit a Linux wall.
I have Caldera's eDesktop installed on Caitlan using all the defaults. And now I cannot get at the CD drive nor at the floppy drive. When I try to mount them the drive light comes on for a second and I get a kfm window saying "mounting /dev/fd0 ..." which stays up indefinite. When I try to mount via the KDE Kontrol Center, file systems dialog I get "No kernel driver for system auto available". And of course the online help doesn't help (stole that feature from Microsoft) and the manual isn't clear either.
Sigh.


Adios
