The default install of Solaris sucks,
bash-2.03# make bash: make: command not found
no ssh, no working graphics drivers. The list will probably grow.
Update
Got the graphics card working, turns out you can install modules from Xfree86, it didn’t have the driver for my card but is did have a generic one that works 🙂
Update
Getting closer to getting something to compile, got make, now what package is ‘ar’ in
Update
‘ar’ is part of binutils, now installed, along with openssh, openssl, jove, lynx and ncftp. This machine is getting close to being useable by me 🙂
PhotoPoint goes dark. I wonder what will happen to the other photo sites. Talking of photos I found a web hosting company that will give out 500 MB of disk space for $10 a month which is cool. Once I run out of space of projectphotos.com I can set up projectphotos.net as a new picture store on this new service 🙂

Ok I am an idiot. I wasn’t just missing one roll of film I was missing 3 and they are all in my fridge. BTW I keep all my film in the fridge which at the moment is about 20 or so rolls. I know what is on one of the rolls now what the hell is on the other 2???
Why I am I getting check sum errors on un taring my photos on projectphotos.com, lets try this again…..
I seem to be missing a roll of film. I remember changing film in Williamsburg and the last batch of photos I just got back doesn’t have those photos in it. I should go hunt it down. Maybe it is in HY’s car
Interesting Anti Spam laws in VA. I got the link from Wired article on Bennett Haselton who was awarded $2000 from spammers under washington state’s anti-spam law.
We have technological success. I told my dad to install Yahoo Messenger. He did so now my parents can bug me via IM and see my web cam

I think I might be flogging a dead horse with this one. I installed Solaris 8 as an excuse to gain some more experience with the OS. I have now made it play nicely with my other 3 OSes installed on the machine but now that I have it up and running I find that my cheapo netgear pci card is not supported so no networking for this baby. It sounds like the only supported cards are intel and 3com which sucks since they come in at about $50 each which I don’t really need to spend right now. Mmmm I guess I am back to linux and windows for a little while
