the machine’s made it past the startupscreen this time. I’m still hearing massive disk thrash.
Crap, I picked up a Mac-centric disk-repair tool within the last couple years, um, DiskWarrior. Hope I don’t have to figure out where the discs are, given the move.
So, it seems as though my laptop’s OS upgrade may have hosed something, given that I have been awaiting a completed reboot for well over an hour.
If only I had two hours to rub together.
Hooray! We got back to the apartment just in time for me to run down and pick up the new Mini box, which in due time will be the server. Of course, I’m not sure what monitor to hook it up to on the dry run, so it will have to wait a bit, I fear.
I hope.
Looks like we’re back in business!
I’m sure my mail config will have to be hacked upon, as I reacll having to do something bruteforce with a dependency that referenced “localhost” but I am also considering chucking the self-admin bit vis-a-vis mail anyway.
As will quickly become apparent, I have been blogging the whole time we were down, since October 27.
