Thats funny the Ubuntu dapper netinst image didn’t give me a choice on what to install at all, it just did the whole enchilada which instantly reminded me of the earlier SuSE installers. ;o)

Interestingly enough it is at 97% for several minutes now stating “cleaning up…” — my bet is that it would be better to have big bad tarballs ready for an install image. ;)

I am installing Ubuntu Dapper via netinst (ok# boot net:dhcp) image on a SunFire T2000 at the moment. Should be fast right? Well err no, i am doing it via the servers serial console which is at 9k6 by default. Problem is you cannot set it to another speed whilst on it (read only value) and i was to lazy to set up the network management port — plus i would not be able to write this if i did. It seems the Ubuntu does not provide a way to give me a shell and off course i cannot just press Alt-F4. Even more annoying is that the installation script does a full reset after each screen — this takes like 3 seconds. sigh

Lets just say takes a lot of self-control not to be crying out loud, then again with all those funny/creepy things modern hardware does i’m quite well trained. ;)

Welcome to my reincarnated blog.

Yeah i know i said in my old blosxom blog that because blosxom is so awfully memory leaking that it cannot be run under mod_perl i would write my own blog in perl.

But ok i admit it i’m lazy and i would never have gone to the lengths of creating something as fancy as this typo blogging software — it even uses ajax animations when writing an article — and i like fancy web stuff, so thats it now. Feel free to subscribe any feeds until i figure typo is badly written too… ;-)

First hints on that could be that nobody even dares to run it on mod_ruby and that blog hosters are complaining about its memory usage on FastCGI. Oh well, we’ll see…
