Having a hard drive which has been sitting around doing nothing, I bought it a box to work in. Having a working hard drive with no real purpose refreshed my intention to install some kind of Lunix to see what all the hype is about. Ubuntu 5.10 was the distro of choice, since I've had pleasant experiences with the live CD version. Namely, it was the only one which properly used the full resolution of my wide-screen monitor.

So I install. And it is installed. Happily, I try to boot. It boots. To the point of starting the boot loader. And that was it. It can't mount the boot partition. The one it has just booted from. The one it was installed onto. A Lunix thing, I hear, having to be told that the drive it's on exists. Even then it sometimes doesn't believe you.

I think I'm rapidly reaching the point where things are stopping to be worth the bother. The only thing that can save the Project Lunix now is the boredom at work, I think.
