Another hard week!!

Installed Net::SSH::Perl on the Mdk-10.1 machine. It wasn't easy, and one module had to be installed outside of CPAN (Crypt::DH) so I could skip the tests. Anyway, all got done in the end.

Next was GCC-4.0.0. This is the build spec

Using built-in specs.
Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
Configured with: ../gcc-4.0.0/configure --prefix=/opt --enable-threads --enable-__cxa_atexit
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.0.0

I ran the test, but interpreting the results is a bit beyond me. However the first thing I compiled with it seemed to work.

Computer activities for the last few weeks have involved re-installing and upgrading my Mdk-10.1
I had stupidly done an 'rm -rf' as root at the root and I nearly cried!! Fortunately my /home was on a separate partition. Anyway, it gave me an opportunity to cleaan up a bit, and this time I resolved to make some backups of essential data, like my addressbook and bookmarks which went to the never never.

I had been having troubles with /home, different distros with different UIDs for users was mucking things up. So now I have a /data on its own partition, and anytime I put on another distro, I let it have it's own /home in the same partition as /

Anyway to do the backups, tried Kdar, but it did not configure with a qt version type error, you can find it on Google, so rolled my own but first installed
File::Copy::Recursive and File::Backup. They sem to work nicely, so all I have to do now is put it as a cron job and ftp/rsync it somewhere for safe keeping.

What did we do before computers?
