Back on my own computer
I’m posting this from firefox, back on my own computer! Woohoo!
‘Twas a pain trying to get my settings back… I hadn’t realized that I needed a particular driver for the firewire hard drive (that I’d backed up to) to work, so even though hotplug, etc. were working fine, the drive didn’t show up. Rather confusing, and when I went to look at stuff in the kernel I didn’t think at the time I’d find the answer there. But I did, yay :-). Now I just have to find a way to get the scroll wheel on the mouse working, which if the current trend continues (had to recompile the kernel to get my screen resolution above 640×480, had to recompile the kernel to get the firewire drive working) will mean I need to recompile the kernel again ’cause I got my mouse driver wrong.
