@jmreekes That is simply beautiful
@matigo Sealing an entry point for field mice and a small, lower crack in the basement where something (No clue what. Prior owner) smacked against the wall.
Code is the Linuxy stuff. Still on my fact-finding mission to see if what I want to do is feasible.
A weekend of Sackrete, aluminum flashing, ductwork and code await.
The last one is separate from the others so don't freak out.
@matigo The distro I did started in late 2004. I have been out of the game for a looooong time.
The last time I had a close look at the kernel, it was early 2.6.
Going to take me a while to get back up to speed. Yikes!
@jws I haven't even begun to express my distaste for GRUB 2 yet. From what I understand, egrub is abandoned now.
Correction: elilo.
@matigo Perhaps a poor choice of words but entrusting that one monolith with so much really rubs me the wrong way. When something grows so large and has so many tendrils in the system, it effectively becomes a black box of sorts. Kind of like digging deeply into Firefox source.
@matigo It would be the easier route and I wouldn't have to swim against the prevailing current. However, I strongly dislike there being another monolithic black box other than the kernel itself.
