1:11 PM - Mother's Day

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/6409411.stm

According to this article, mother's day was started by a woman who spent the rest of her life fighting the commercialism of it.  That would piss me off too.

I don't feel like sharing this in the mbsd blog.  I am ready to rm -rf /usr/mports today.  Things are not working well building the packages.  I've found a lot of possible issues with mports.  For whatever reason, the packages are not ending up on the isos even though its a very simple cp operation.  Quite annoying.

I tried the Etoile live cd with little success.  The linux kernel freaks out on the old HP I tried it on.  (celeron 700mhz 128mb ram)  I then tried qemu on MBSD.  gdomap crashed and several other network services so I couldn't login to gnustep or etoile desktops.  I figure networking wasn't running in qemu.  I'm no qemu expert.  Normally I'd just try it in VPC in windows at this point, but my desktop has been building packages all weekend.  I had to whack /usr/local and /usr/X11R6.  I don't have a usable environment on there at the moment.  I write this on my PC laptop.  (in mbsd of course)

I'm still building ports.  Caryn and I went for a drive.  Its actually sunny in Michigan for a change!  I've got quite a few packages built.  This should help significantly with MBSD adoption.  Many new users have experienced problems with our old packages.  The libc bump broke them.  Of course i'll need to test these packages on another box.  There are still several ports with problems.  I've been fixing what I can as I go along.
