And again...

Four in a day may be a record for me.  But, I had to do some major revisions, after a nasty run in with...FatDog.

Yeah, after my success with PhatSlacko, I wanted to go over and do some work with FatDog, so I grabbed the USB stick, booted, and...

Ran straight into a wall.  It would NOT recognize my network, no matter what I did.  And I did everything.  Finally, I got so disgusted that I nearly reformatted the USB stick back to FAT32 for storage.

But, thankfully, I didn't.

I'd been running the 611 version of FatDog.  A quick check showed that the Final version of 620 was out.  So, a quick .iso download, a quick CD burn and liveboot check, a re-setup of the USB stick, and Yowza!  FatDog64 is up and running.  Perfectly.  Network setup was impressively fast.  A reboot check showed everything working fine.

And the system recognized my trackpad setup on boot.  Taps enabled.  And the sound needed no adjustment.  So...

I'm happy.

I honestly was thinking I'd spoken too soon about "Puppy not letting me down."  But the Big Dog is working.  So things are on an even keel.

And I can go to bed without being stressed out over something as minor as a non-functioning OS.  I like that best of all.
