Finally, I've got hard drive activity! I kept doing the Automatic thing
previously where I let it automatically partition the drive into 12.6GB
and a 300KB swap drive. And that ended up getting nowhere!

So I thought I would try configuring things the way I didn't know how
to configure things. And I've finally got some hard disk activity! It got
up to the 83% mark this time pretty quick. As long as it doesn't putter
out here... which it just did...

Oh well... wait I still hear those little hard drive heads moving back and
forth... come on... get past 83%... keep on going... awhh shucks, there
it goes again... it puttered out... I wonder if I can throw a newer older
processor into that machine... or if I've got a mother board that the newer
older processor (1.3GHz Athlon as opposed to 350KHz K62). What's
up with the 83% install spot ???

"The Unknown Soldier"
"The End"

: "Riders on the Storm" and its sequal.

He had some ... wow ... it made it past 83% and started over at 1%.

They had some pretty grim songs. Didn't he used to talk to a big Indian
in his dreams (or was it drugs)? The drugs took over everything and he
lost control. That song, "The End", pretty much summarizes what went
on inside his head. If you look at it that way, it could even summarize
what goes on inside alot of our heads, you know, the twisted turning
paths that we might walk along in our lives... Some folks don't get out of
that which perhaps is what happened to Mister Morrison, and the drugs
ended up as his way out. His father being a big Navy guy, and Jim's dis-
like of the VietNam war... There's a lot there and some of his songs seem
to identify the turmoil of the Viet Nam war and the conflict(?) between him
and his father. It's almost like he resented the fact that his father was in the
armed services fighting for the country.

Jim Morrison attended Saint Petersburg Junior College. Not that it makes
a difference one way or another, but since you've brought up Jim Morrison.
I live a couple miles from that college.

XUBUNTU installed... :-)

Of course, this statement is in complete opposition to your statement
two posts ago.
Oh well, no one has ever accused you of making any sense.

There are many bigger problems than just the annoyance.
First of all, there is the version problem (also known as "DLL Hell").
Second, there is the issue of size: loading a DLL gets you *all* the
routines, not just the ones you actually call.
Of course, there is also the issue that functions in a DLL must be
called indirectly. Often, this is done by linking in an extra JMP
instruction (admittedly, not necessary, but many tools wind up doing
this).

Also, DLLs carve up your address space inconveniently. A problem if
you have huge memory allocations or you use (large) memory-mapped
files.

Static linking avoids all of these problems.
