There are reasons I have to stick with my Solaris machine. One is that my ISP requires me to use the same MAC address. So I backed up /home, /etc, and forgot /var. Guess who didn’t have a kernel compiled beforehand? I had to boot Solaris to mount my old disks and I found out that I had two /var directories and I preserved the wrong one.
Feh.
It’s about working now.
Get yourself one of those D*Link routers and clone that Mac address then you can put anything you want behind it. We have one of the wireless one’s and I really like it.
