I do. Nearly. It's something I have to deal with, when The Looney Field
Effect is particularily strong. Yesterday, I installed a box with RedHat
7.1 - Mandrake 8.0 wouldn't install; after taking 35mins to boot off (40x)
CD, the installer crashed. When I installed RedHat, NIS didn't work. No
idea why. In the end, Glen sent me off to lunch, and reinstalled it
for me - and it worked first time :)
BTW, it's called the "Field Effect", because I can break things, without
touching them...
