Well, I've bootstrapped this beast. This project is going on its 14th straight hour. Almost done, just writing up the bootscripts and installing loggers and whatnot. If you guys like Mandrake, you should definitely check out Ubuntu. It's like a 3-step install, and it autodetects everything. They mail out free LiveCD/Install CD bundles, so it's worth a shot. I haven't used Mandrake since it was 7.0, so I don't know what it's turned into. Last experience I had with it was that it was basically a simplified RedHat. Building a system from scratch has to be the dumbest thing I've ever gotten myself into. I'm glad nothing has gone wrong yet. I hope this pays off. Posting in a console browser sucks. I probably won't be around until I get XOrg and Firefox up and running. Bah.
