There will no sleep at the Bradley's house!

 I arm-wrestled Gentoo on k-2.6.12 r6, (YUP... I knew that number by heart! 8-)
but MAN, was I troubleshooting! That's a tough old gate I had to bust down, (It
included me sshd to edit /mnt/gentoo/boot/grub/grub.config MANY times, and
"make && make" three times that I can remember, settling without
"vesafb-tng".... ) but I'm firmly in the thicket
now.

 "emerge" seems like a *treat* compared to me ignoring dependencies in order to
cram minicom into the old Mandrake via the CLI. Yup, THAT was no fun. No more
dogged GUI front end either. HOORAY!!

 Maybe I can stop compiling, but I likely won't. (Control freak) "emerge" was
choking on dependencies, but includes a --deep option, that seemed to shape up
194 "Packages". (I can't stop thinking of "Two wild and crazy guys!~") Having
an ALL option, just like any other, we'll see if I have any hd space left. I
suspect I'll have enough fonts, so I'll never be able to see them all in a
lifetime!

I read at least three times what "serio" is, via menuconfig, and I still can't
recite what it is, or this h20, or i2c, or whatever... ... ... (Please... Spare
me unless it's life and death.) BTW, what DOES "-tng" stand for? Giving the
"tongue?" Around here, it was "That's No Good."

Onward and Upward!  Where's the ointment?
