This note is just to get some frustration off my chest and to remind the Fedora community that stupidity can reign no matter how smart you might think you are. Just did a virgin Fedora 14 reinstall after completely screwing up my operating system because I thought I had a failing disk drive. The one that has all my backups. Compounding my problems by losing grub and my WindowsXP partition. After spending more than a day working on it, and a couple of calls to my vendor, my solutions got more and more inventive until I managed to just about blow the whole machine up. Only then, in my frustration, did I think to take the side panel off my computer, jiggle the cables to the harddrive, remove the cable and reattach it. Fixed everything. Now I am busy trying to get everything back to the way I like. No reply necessary. Just thought someone else might be in the throws of some frustrated, non-thinking stupidity and might need a warning to stop, take a breath, indulge in the sin of your choice and think before doing any more damage. Particularly, try to keep screwdrivers out of your hands at times like these. I know you might say, I have been there, done that. Even bought the T-shirt. But PEBAK continues exist in the best of families. -- Regards Bill Fedora 14, Gnome 2.32 Evo.2.32, Emacs 23.2.1 -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
