Pragmatic or just fucking crazy?

This has been weighing on my mind a lot lately. When is the cure worse than the disease? At what point do you say both options are bad, but that one is less bad.

¡Amigos! ¡Ayudame!

Necesito a alguien que me acompañe a una cena para mi clase de español. No vas a pagar por cenar ni refrescos.
La reglas:

1- Necesitas hablar en español de temas varios con los alumonosl. No te puedes hablar en íngles durante la cena.

2- Necesitas estar en Houston, el Martes, el 9 de Agosto. El evento se llevará a cabo de 1800  a 2100

3- La regla más importante: Te necesita gustar comida mexicana y hablar con gente simpática.

Si gustaria ayudarme, mándame un mensaje pronto!
¡gracias!

kickstart via cfengine

The topic came up again recently, and it seems that a lot of people don’t realize this is possible, so I thought I’d post it here for all the interwebz to enjoy.

you can boot up into an install enviornment for kickstarts and custom installs, without using CDs, pxeboot or usbdisks.

You can reinstall/kickstart by editing the /etc/grub.conf and copying the vmlinuz and inird.img files (assuming rhel/centos) to /boot. All the fun linux boot options work in this enviornment, such as ip= and vnc=

This short writeup explains how to reinstall or kickstart using cfengine.

assumptions

  • Linux is already installed
  • Linux is installed NOT they way you want it. This is why you are trying this right?
  • you have network connectivity.
  • you are using cfengine v2.x and are familiar with the workings.
  • you have an install tree somewhere. In our example it will be on path /repos/distros/centos/5.5/os/x86_64/isolinux/

Crested Butte

Leslie likes Colorado, and little Christmas trees.

This is the only sign in 100 mile radius that says “no dogs”

If you look closely, you can see the terror in Luis’ eyes. Six feet directly behind us is a 5billion feet vertical cliff.

The coffee isn’t great, but the weather and company are freakin’ awesome!

Give me candy or I’ll stab you in the eye!

We’re already out of breath up here!

It’s soo sunny here!

MooooooooooVE!
