Much computer brokenness today and yesterday. Last night I did something stupid on my main computer, though I seem to have been able to recover from it (and if I hadn't, I would have had to re-install the operating system -- yes, it was that stupid).
Today I have been going through the extremely long GenToo install process on my laptop, and I finally got to the "now you have a skeleton system, you can reboot!"... and it Didn't Work, in a "kernel panic" sort of way. ("kernel panic" is I suppose the Linux equivalent of the MS-Windows Blue Screen Of Death, except that it is so rare that this is the first time, in ten years of using Linux, that I have seen one). I know I must have set a wrong option earlier in the process, but I have no idea what. (sigh)
And it is past dinnertime, and I haven't had dinner, and I'm tired, and dispirited. (sigh)
