1. client needs filemaker 10 server setup asap
2. two servers i have ordered have failed in various aspects
3. fine - i will use my laptop till the 3rd server arrives
4. so i will temporarily use two xp boxes - one for home and one for work
5. ???
6. frustration
6.1 i want to use 1920 x 1200 - the old dell optiplex gx270 doesn't support that it's intel 82865g controller can't handle 1920 x 1200 at 60Hz - argh! i hate running this 24" lcd in less than it's full res - it is soo wrong
6.2 plugging my itouch into the usb port doesn't start charging it! i guess i have to install itunes to charge my hardware? UPDATE - yes - the itouch can only be charged if itunes is RUNNING!! LAME!!
6.3 trying to install fm10 server the fm10 installer says i can't install since fm9 server was there - read the install guide. i find and the read the install guide, and it says to find fm9 uninstall guide.
6.4 i just find all files named "filemaker" in the "/Library" - a flexnet folder - i guess for licesing - and launch daemonn plist - and i delete them - and it installs!!
6.5 also the download link from filemaker says it is a filemaker 10 advanced server - but the file downloads as "fms" - no indication it is the advanced at all. perhaps it is a single installer that looks at the install key?
6.6 also - this "new" (i can't say mine!) optiplex 270 has a p4 2.8 with HT which was disabled in bios - i enabled it - oops - xp is asking for some dlls - oh i will get these from the net - umm maybe all these virus sites aren't a good place to get files - oops it wants all these others files - cancel - cancel - cancel - all done! - what??? all done? i don't have a new ntoskrnl!!! now i guess this xp box won't boot if a reboot. i am tempted to reboot it and see it fail!!!
