For the same reason I had to buy a stack of floppies to install it in the 90's

[-] 21Cabbage@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 10 months ago

Weren't floppy's relatively rewritable? Why did you have to buy multiple instead of simply trying multiple times?

[-] Gimpydude@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 10 months ago

Floppies were very rewritable, but the distro wouldn't fit on a single one.

See but I'm talking about burning an install CD for Puppy and having it just straight not work and the solution being "just burn another one" like CDs were cheap for a 13 year old.

Good thing floppes were dirt cheap back then.

I think you have a little bit of solder flux stuck in your gray beard on the left side... No, other left.

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.
