the water gets deeper huh?

That's why I did the reinstall so that the discovery process would be completed.

This is normally no big deal on my machines: the OS finds a piece here or
there and goes through.

The water should never be this deep: it's all proprietary bs.


Right now I am going to try to run Everest.

Belarc only works on a net connected machine.

How big of a deal is it to get a Dell setup disk for a GX150 that has
everything on it-- just like I'd get with a motherboard like my Mach Speed
X-Caliber?


Why should you have to pick through a haystack of menus for this stuff?

Maybe I just don't know how to look for what's needed.
