WorthTheWait

I have just pushed the cat off my knee and got up to make some toast. I realise this will sound no big deal to most of you, but my cat is no ordinary cat. In fact in an editorial about six years ago, I used her maladjusted social incompetence to ponder how God might sorrowfully view our missing of his privileges because we refuse to foster his company.

 

We acquired this cat over ten years ago. Of indeterminate age, she had a number of deeply ingrained neuroses, and all our best efforts to coax her into the family hearth were met with suspicion and ingratitude. She preferred lurking under a dripping hedge to civilised living. For ten years, we have alternately wheedled her and castigated her, fortunately in a language she could not understand. Her reaction was consistent: she stayed safely remote.

 

That is, until recently. Over the last four or five months, she seems to have been re-born. For no discernible reason she has discovered the cat flap, colonised the knee of anyone sitting still, purred at levels never before imagined and generally entered the human race. Not in the fulsome way of some cats - she has her pride, after all - but unrecognizable as the mewling fugitive we have known for so long. She's like a new person.

 

She had her parallel at school the other day. For nine years at this school, I have coached the touch

 

football teams. None of them has been very good, and the worst ones have been awful. I have come to expect a sort of careless frolic in the Wellington northerly, ending in congratulations for some other coach and aphorisms about how it's all about enjoying the game. I began these platitudes with clenched teeth, but with repetition, I have almost come to believe them.

 

And then, this term, it all changed. She new team looked promising in the first game and confident in the second. They won a couple more and all of a sudden they were in the final and then, not satisfied just to be there, they won it. Someone's mother brought me round with smelling salts and.it cost me chocolate, but I went home in a sort of foolishly elated haze, and when I arrived, the cat sat on my lap.

 

I think there is a lesson to be learned from both the cat and the team. A local church asked me to preach them a sermon last month on the topic, "God Delays." I don't actually think he does: it just feels that way when he declines to adopt our timetable. It is fair to believe that God might have a timetable of his own. I suspect that much of our challenge is to trust God to know what he is doing and to adjust our wishes to his, rather than to our current Good Idea.

 

But it might take time for my wishes to align with God's wishes. It might even take time for other people to learn what I would like them to learn. And if they are not yet followers of Jesus and I am wishing they were, it is highly likely that my desire for them to pursue A B or C will not be fulfilled for my convenience. And I should not withdraw and declare them hardened against the gospel but foster their friendship, offering them care and above all listening, and wait for the spirit of God to move in his time, and in theirs. I have been seeing something of this recently in my own church.

 

If it takes nine years to see a sports team deliver the goods and ten years to see a simple cat respond to daily kindness, we might expect the profound changing of a life - and we should be hoping for nothing less - to take what it takes. Let us not be impatient, nor give up, nor seek to manipulate. Australian writer Michael Frost says that deep people don't use shallow methods, and we should be ready for God's gentle power to move in his own time. Certainly Paul was struck to the ground in a spectacular blaze of glory but he is presented as an exception, and anyway it took a lengthy process to get him there. A friend of mine is fond of saying, "~The story's not yet finished," and for all of us, that's just as well. What's nine years, or ten, in an eternal time-frame?

Easy-cook Recipes

I have been collecting a few easy-cook recipes, but I tend to loose sight of them in all the clutter of things I try to do on my computer. Here is a good place to bring them all together and focus my attention on them for a few minutes, in the hope that, when I need them, I will also be able to quickly and easily find them and know where to look first!

My first recipe is an all-time family favourite, with a new twist - cooking method uses microwave oven.

Savoury Mince

This is a very quick and easy recipe, that you can do from memory, once you've done it once or twice. And the end result is always delicious and well received.

GRUB Boot floppy or CD
Taken from here.
http://newbiedoc.berlios.de/wiki/How_to_create_a_Grub_disc_to_boot_a_Debian_GNU/Linux_system

1 The advantage of having a Grub boot disc

If you have more than one operating system on a dual- or multi-boot Debian system, you run a small risk of damaging the Grub bootloader. This might happen if another operating system overwrites the boot sector. It might also happen if you have several versions of Debian on different partitions and you remove one of them. The answer is to create a Grub boot disc (floppy or CD) that will boot into Debian on a partition that you know will never be moved or removed.

[edit]

2 Create a boot floppy

The way to create a Grub boot floppy for Debian, based on the article at http://www.linuxjournal.com/comment/reply/4622, is as follows.

Boot into your Debian system. If you have more than one, boot into the system that you know will remain permanently on your hard drive. Insert a floppy disc in your floppy drive and format it. Add a file system. This could be anything that Debian will recognise (eg ext2), but these commands will add an MSDOS filesystem.

fdformat /dev/fd0
mkfs -t msdos /dev/fd0

Mount the floppy and copy the /boot/grub directory and its contents from the running system to the floppy. Unmount the floppy.

$ mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /media/floppy
$ mkdir -p /media/floppy/boot/grub
$ cp /boot/grub/* /media/floppy/boot/grub
$ umount /media/floppy

Install the GRUB boot loader in the MBR of the floppy itself. Run grub and enter these commands at the grub prompt.

$ grub
grub> root (fd0)
grub> setup (fd0)
grub> quit

That's it! To test the floppy, restart the system with the floppy in the drive. You can select which operating system to boot from the usual blue menu.

[edit]

3 Create a boot CD

You can find basic instructions for creating a bootable Grub disc in the manual at http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Making-a-GRUB-bootable-CD_002dROM.html#Making-a-GRUB-bootable-CD_002dROM. By adding a slightly modified menu.lst you can create a CD which will boot your system from the usual blue menu.

In your "home" directory create a directory (eg "iso") in which to place the files for the CD.

$ cd ~
$ mkdir iso

Make a directory for Grub and copy the file "stage2_eltorito" to it from /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/.

$ mkdir -p iso/boot/grub
$ cp /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/stage2_eltorito iso /boot/grub

Also copy the menu.lst file to it from /boot/grub.

cp /boot/grub/menu.lst iso/boot/grub 

Now edit iso/boot/grub/menu.lst and remove any lines identical to "savedefault". Leaving these commands will cause an error because the CD is a read-only disc. A typical menu entry will look like this once "savedefault" has been removed:

title		Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18-3-686
root		(hd0,5)
kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-3-686 root=/dev/hda6 ro 
initrd		/boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-3-686

Finally, make a ISO9660 image file called "grub.iso".

$ mkisofs -R -b boot/grub/stage2_eltorito -no-emul-boot 
   -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -o grub.iso iso

Burn the image file onto CD or a DVD. If you are using K3B or GnomeBaker, choose "Burn CDROM Image" from the "Tools" menu. If you are using the command line, you can use cdrecord. There is an explanation of how to do this at http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/273.

Note:

mkisofs has already set up the disc to boot from the boot/grub/stage2_eltorito file, so there is no need to setup GRUB on the disc. The -boot-load-size 4 bit is required for compatibility with the BIOS on many older machines.

That's it! To test the CD, restart the system with the CD in the drive. You can select which operating system to boot from the usual blue menu.

4 How to use the Grub boot disc to repair the MBR

--Chris Lale 15:32, 2 March 2007 (CET)

Your system may stop booting from the hard drive if you install Windows or install another instance of Debian and then remove it.

Just boot from your Grub floppy or CD, login, switch user to user root and re-install the Grub bootloader. If your first master hard disc is IDE, enter

# grub-install /dev/hda

If your first master hard disc is SCSI or SATA, use

# grub-install /dev/sda

### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST

Note: I think that the value '(hd0,0)' here is in error!

Note : I think that the last installation, Debian Netinstall, used what was hdb1 but has now been reallocated to hdb12 as root, hdb13 as /home and hdb14 as /user. The latter is a trial of having a common data file between installed versions of Linux.

I am now going to build a boot floppy

Compile & Use zsync

I am wanting to update a 1 GB ISO file for klikit-linux. I originally downloaded an alpha version but was unable to install it. The latest release has overcome these initial installation problems but I do not want to download the entire 1024 MB of data again. Someone has kindly provided and hosted a zsync meta-file, at http://www.nrvitsquad.com/klikit/klikit-ff-0.1-5b.iso.zsync
and all that remains is to compile, install and run the zsync client.

This is the first time I have attempted to compile and install a program in Linux, being a Linspire user and restricted to their CNR technology up until now. However their CNR warehouse has become more and more out of date and does not currently host zsync.

My first attempt at compiling went well but produced some errors, which I do not understand. Here is a link to the konsole output.
