Philinux Journal Entry 20050130a : Downloading Packages

January 30, 2005 · Posted in *nix, Projects 

A new entry into the Paulinux journal is now available. This one describes the process of aquiring the needed packages for a base system and also describes one of the BIGGEST mistakes I’ve made so far.

Check it out!

Note: For whatever reason (Rob you may know) the new entry (20050130a) was placed before the 20050123a entry. A bit confusing but I’m sure a simple fix.

    It’s like blacksmithing must have been back in The Day. Want to put new shoes on your horse? Sweet. Somebody pass me the hammer…oh, hey wait…I gotta make a hammer…with, uh, my other tools. That I need to make. Maybe I can borrow a hammer, to make my hammer (obviously a _better_ hammer) etc.

    At least you have an incredibly robust 64-bit Anvil, dude. You always gotta go into town for somethin.

    I’m enjoying the posts. Keep it up.

    Grendel, that’s _exactly_ what it’s like.

    Rob, I’m glad _you_ learned something. _I’m_ still trying to figure everything out! :)
