    Anyway, how have you been? Me and a buddy have been working on doing a Linux From Scratch installation. I had done it about a decade ago, but he's never, so I thought it would be fun to do with him. We've booted into it and now just have to get his wifi working. Fun!

    Sounds like you need network manager & friends.

    I just did this myself on my desktop, it just needed dhcpcd so it was fairly simple. Network manager might be more involved, I'll have to go down that road too when I get to my laptop.

    Have fun!

    Hey Andrew!

    Prism was down for a long time but I tried logging in today and
    it worked!

    Fantastic news. I'll give it a try later. Thanks for the heads up.

    I was looking around to see the current state of ttylinux and see
    it's not really active anymore

    I haven't checked it out for awhile but last time I did it looked to be heading in that direction. I was toying with the idea of doing something similar for a bbs, perhaps a virtual one?

    I felt like people may still be interested in the future, at
    least for archiving/historical purposes. What do you think?

    Excellent idea. I would probably check that out.

    Life is good,
    Maurice

    Maurice! Hello. Prism was down for a long time but I tried logging in today and it worked! Nice to have my usual
    Fido Gateway available.


    I was looking around to see the current state of ttylinux and see it's not really active anymore, and found that even some of the downloads were no longer available.

    I had an idea that I thought might be good, and after find a couple isos, I pushed them to my docker account. I felt like people may still be interested in the future, at least for archiving/historical purposes. What do you think?

    We got it working today with wpa_supplicant and dhclient! :)

    Good stuff. LFS is (one of) my favorite things these days.
