EDIT: Eureka! Looks like its worked perfectly! Will keep an eye on things for a bit to see if anything catches fire though…
Well, after having been using WordPress 2.5 Release Candidate 1 for the past week and a bit, it appears that they have now released the real-life ‘gold’ version.

I spent most of yesterday afternoon over at a friends place rebuilding 3 machines for him.
First one was a vintage PC he got off of me years ago, a P3 with 256Mb of RAM. I took my ‘kit’ of install and software disks along with me, and after discovering that we were trying to boot [...]

Ok – the 100Gb Hard Drive in my laptop died the other day. Luckily I didnt have anything overly important on it, as it died badly.
I tried running spinrite on it, but even that was having drama, saying it was going to take a number of days to complete.
