greetings!

well, col 2.2 got here 2 1/2 hours ago, and i'm running on it now.
not bad, considering that this included installing a new hard drive
for it and reinstalling the old hard drive so as to copy /home over.

the graphical install wasn't the easiest thing in the world, nor the
worst; i'll try to get used to starting in runlevel 5, but i don't
expect i'll like it.

found one *major* bug for those who, like i, have a riva128 vid card
with 8 megs. it lets you choose 24bpp, which is not supported, so X
crashes. you have to run XF86Setup to get 32bpp.

no sign of star office anywhere. weird.

but better than i'd expected. which isn't to say that it's not going
to be a busy weekend.
