Work Log: Wed, June 1

8:30
Arrived 8:20.  Only one fellow student here.  Shall inquire about Fedora vm.  If it isn't already set up, will investigate stripping down a desktop install.
At 8:30, installing from minimal iso.  I'll print out the time sheet.
9:00
Reinstalling fedora 15 with x; the host tools would not install without X -- and then the VM can be stripped down to run on old hardware by inexperts.
9:30
It's running xfce slowly.  I can't drop it down to a console.  The user is admin, the password is default.
9:35 -- yum install jabberd
*presses easy button*
10:00
Got SSH working with host machine.  Put machine in runlevel 3.
Working via SSH from here out, optimally, on ballistophobia.  This will make copy-pasting possible.
If I'm making a vm image, why not make a livecd that runs vms?  I'll look into this.
10:30
Reinstalling, textmode, with better name so as not to break jabber.  Bridged adapter will fix network problems.
11:00
Still encountering texmode problems.  What happened?
11:30
Installing ejabberd on textmode.  Remember kids, ifconfig -a.\
1:15
Reinstalling again.  Ejabber is currently large, fragile software -- I do not see how it is suitable for widespread deployment.


NOTE: DATA FROM HERE TILL 3:00 WAS LOST BECAUSE I DID NOT SAVE
