The Ditto and the Glory

So while I was messing about with Faith (the server in the previous story), I decided that since I had only a W.A.G. as to what was wrong, I would set up another server to take over FTP just in case I couldn't fix it quickly enough.

So I fired up the box that I think used to be called Amelia (though it might have been Lina, since the two are identical twins) and started loading up Fedora. I called the new box Glory.*

And about mid-way through the first install disk it folded up and died.

I rebooted, started into the install, and SPLAT!!! with a CRC** error.

And again.

I checked all the cables. I checked the power supply. I checked the CPU fan. Um, shouldn't that be, like, spinning?

Moved a stray power lead from here to there and all the Chemical Rubber Tree plants were banished for good. Er, the installed proceeded smoothly.
