Re: Catweazel - over and out
I would not call that incident a mistake. At the most it may be incomplete but such is the great majority of advice you get here and anywhere else. Others can come along and add more.
Even if you make the occasional mistake it is not a big deal because it will be corrected by others and everyone will come out wiser.
By participating we all learn not only from each other's knowledge but also from each other's mistakes.

The quickest way to get correct advice on any forum is to post blatantly INCORRECT advice.

Please do come back after your trip! We missed you during your hiatus a few years back, I know we'll do it again.catweazel wrote: ⤴Sun Jul 15, 2018 2:04 am Gee, thank you everyone. I didn't realise. Your words of encouragement are genuinely heart warming. Maybe my trip away will relax me a bit and I can return refreshed. It's nice to know I have so many genuine friends. I'll be back in very early August.
Everyone take care and stay safe.
Bali sounds like fun.

Re: Catweazel - over and out
Read this and my heart sank as you've been an encouragement and help so many times and your knowledge would be sorely missed by many here. I am pleased to have read that you're coming back in August at least we hope that you will

One thing I would suggest, create a partition as a 50G partition as /. Partition the rest as /Home. IF the system fails, reinstall and use the exact same username and all your 'stuff' comes back to you.

But that Avatar and user name! How will people get curious and not want to go see what it is about?
