A long, long time ago I used to be known as 
kraqur on livejournal. Although that site has sailed along with it’s previous creator Brad Fitzpatrick, archive.org seem to have some amazing historical snapshots that I feel need to be rehomed here.
So, this is just going to be a sourced squabbling of my early blogging/journaling days, complete with cross-references to niffynoo‘s journal, of whom was my on-and-off girlfriend-soon-to-be-wife-then-ex-wife.
In doing a family tree or any kind of genealogy you sometimes come across facts that you might have to accept are canon to either side of the family.

In creating this VM I let the Create Wizard do the needful, and made the following additional modifications:
…and kept the VBoxVGA, PIIX4, SoundBlaster 16, PCnet-Fast II (Am79C973), and USB 2.0.
First off I boot up into my Windows 98se, partition, reboot, and then format the hard drive. Then I mount the Windows 95c disk and copy over the files to C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS like the good old days. From that I run setup from the C: and go through the installation.
