I swear, some days... by themadkansan 2003-01-13 09:48:08
...I think I'm a closet masochist.

just took and wiped an old, dead (OS-wise) HP server and made it into a DNS box for one of our wireless networks - the thing barely ran right with NT4 on it, so what do I do?

Install Win2K on it, of all things...

Funny thing was, the only thing it didn't like was the integrated video card - rummaged around in the bit-box for a slightly newer one, disabled the onboard and installed it, restarted, and et viola! everything worked.

Amazed the shell outa me, it did... :)
