Day 1836

Don't know why, but the only thing I ever end up doing on Saturdays is computing - must change this, if I don't get the push, anyway.

While in Sainsburys saw PCW was giving away Red Hat Linux on its CD: after some thought, made a boot disc, which recognised my LINUX partition and the CD-ROM drive - with the latter, installation was a breeze. More amazingly still, despite raising PCI complaints, it ran X Windows under Generic SVGA card / Unlisted Monitor. Very pleasing. Sole quibble: no xv. Will try and copy it from Slackware CD. Must let M know it'll recognise CDs.
