I've just done the classic - updating the apps on one of my crunchers to Petri's finest and didn't follow the script, result a big pile of errors, probably a few ghosts, and a fair bit of chuntering under my breath.

The xml files are simple, its remembering to put the files in the right places, and that copying from a USB stick doesn't always move the permissions correctly

ah yes, permissions... they are simple but it is my first time, and it's not easy finding reference files to make sure what i have will work...

A soggy copy of the Radio Times is soooooooooooo refreshing. The Times is just too big.

Shame I didn't notice I'd loaded the wrong CPU app. Memo to self - AMD Phenom do not support ssse3. Stopped CPU processing (I hope) until I get home tonight and load the correct app.

Yea I did that too moving files to my AMD awhile back. Funny thing is it appeared fine for days, then started throwing the odd error. I guess that is from it only needing some of the sse3 code if it finds something interesting - nothing found = fine, something found = compilation error.
