I haven't really taken the time to set this up, but you can look at my home node [perlmonks.org] on Perl Monks.
Lessons re-learned....
Yesterday yum couldn't finish updating my Fedora Core 2 box at home, because my root partition was close to full. Last few times it had updated my kernel, I hadn't cleaned up afterwards. I've been running on my latest kernel for a while, so ditching the old ones seemed like no big deal.
You'd think after all these years of playing the game, I would've remembered a fundamental rule:
Never type anything like
rm -f vmlinuz-2.6.6*
The combination of root, rm -f and wildcards is a bad, bad thing. When grub said "File not found", it really sank in what I'd done.
Thank goodness for my rescue CD. When the box came up on it, I re-ran yum to re-install the latest kernel -- I had plenty of room in the root partition now....
Some lessons just need to be re-learned occasionally. As penance, I will say one hundred "Hail Larry"s and spend the entire day on Windows 2000.
Or is it a BUG?"

We'd prefer it if you merely pretended you were using the Windows machine, and donated the time and frustration you saved by still using Linux to (say) the phalanx project [perl.org].
