Hrm, today I tried to install some extra programs I need for devel-stuff (quilt, git, subversion) on an ancient (not sooo ancient) SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9.2.
Did I already mention I hate rpm-based distros ? Ah and I missed to tell you, that I really love USE-flags …
Ok, so it took me half the afternoon, to rebuild half of all installed packages (heh, kde* depends upon expat*; but who need X or even KDE on a server-machine?) and figured that everything was for nothing.
I found no RPM/SRPM providing te_ams, so I couldn’t install xmlto, which in fact resulted that I couldn’t install git. Also took a look at the git.spec file, where something like –without=docs is mentioned.
Either its this ancient rpm-version, or that generally doesn’t work. So I’m fscked, not git on that machine and short-handed just ssh -e rsync’ed my local linux-git to that machine. It’s a bit inconvenient, but works.
I’ll look into that tomorrow, maybe I even manage to get the damn git working on that machine (or even dump SLES9 in favour of SLES10 / Gentoo!).

So Joshua asked my why the heck I was doing that puzzle (OK, I said it actually is a puzzle) and here’s now the story for that ..
Diagnose: Bursted plaster
As you see on the image above, the plaster is completely bursted. The dome also started to get some crannies, so my parents decided to cover the whole plaster with pebbles. Only catchy thing about that is: you need to glue every single pebble (diameter ~1cm) by hand onto the cement. And that pretty much sucks.
Half finished oven
Ok, so it took us about two whole weekends to cover the dome with the pebbles (don’t ask about my back, it was hurting like someone put a hot iron back there), next thing will be the substructure that also needs to be reworked.
OT: to compete a bit with ChrisWhite, I managed to catch another expression on my face:
Me, being agitated
Now guess, what pissed me off at that time ? *g*

Ok, today I received another WRT54GL (yah, too much money 
) and updated it to dd-wrt v23-SP1 instantly and is now (once again) powering my wireless network.
Yay! and thanks to Cisco/Linksys for that fine piece of hardware and to NewMedia-NET GmbH for providing such a great image for this hardware 
Ah, nearly forgot that: remember, never put the same IP twice in the static DHCP lease table, or dnsmasq is refusing to start (thus no DHCP/DNS)!
