Trying to reinstall FC3 on the new Virgil has been delayed by 3 days now due to overall stupidity. No matter what I tried I couldn’t get the large DVD .iso of the OS to download with Star Downloader (my download accelerator). I finally gave up and and started to download the set of individual CD images.

Then – to make the whole debacle even worse – I realized that I already had the image stored on my host computer. So I didn’t need to download it at all. If it weren’t for the fact that I’ve now immortalized this incident in my online pages here, I could just pretend this never happened and move on…

Update: Oh, but wait! It turns out that the DVD image that I have is somehow corrupt. I can’t say how it happened, since it worked before, but now it’s giving me a “bad descriptor” error. So, even though I should have known better initially, it looks like I’m back to using the invidual CD images again after all.
