I’m rebuilding Zero once again. This time she has a lot less hard disk space, but I can live with that because I’ve given up attempting to do video-capture under Linux. I’ll be putting an All-in-Wonder Radeon into Ryoko soon as well as a bigger SCSI hard drive. Then I’ll use the plethora of Windows-based video tools instead of wrestling with the inadequate and incomplete Linux options.

Having done a few Linux From Scratch installs now, something has finally occurred to me that I should’ve thought of months ago: I’m keeping a log of various quirks and “undocumented features” as I go through the process of building all of the software parts I want. Every time I do this I get hung up on the same things. Maybe if I have a document to consult from the previous run-through I can save myself a lot of time and aggravation.

Wish me luck.
