I’m beginning to think that lappy isn’t broken so much as the external devices are…. the hard disk gets offlined in knoppix as well, and I’ll be trying the dvd burner soon. I was reluctant to test the dv camera, but after fixing udev’s silly node making, I captured a full 25 minutes’ worth of footage without any dropped frames. I’ll be able to make the school video, but burning it will be another trick…
The garden has begun to produce.
