The entire *Golem line is obsolete since it had a nasty tendency to cause a deityclash exception and make the H3L1 bus over heat. Just grab an ordinary atheist driver v66.6 or later and your badger should snap to life... so to speak.

I would like to inquire into the validity of that information - this program does not seem to exist. In fact, I am beginning to believe that the whole document is not taken in a serious manner. There are several people who would be interested in running linux on dead badgers that they happen to have lying about, and I would like to request legitimate documentation on the procedure to install linux.

Does it has to be a badger? They're kinda tricky... how about running it on a puppy instead? Puppy Linux is readily available (puppy not included)

Installing linux on a puppy? Now that's just crazy.

Is it anything to do with this?

I know how this happened. Undoubtedly, someone installed the forcedeth driver by mistake:

Is it necessary for the puppy to be dead before installing? Or am I to understand that it is feasible to be installing on live badgers?

badgers and puppies???
are you folks nuts?
heartless animal haters :evil:

(unintentional road kill doesnt count...)

You should try a cucumber or a pineapple, looks more appealing on the desk. Though its a bit more tempting than a dead badger :|

Well, not sure actually. But I work part-time as an animal nurse at the local vet (not sure if it's called 'animal nurse' in English) and although we don't get a whole lot of badgers we do a lot of chip implants on puppies. So if the dog is big enough it might just work... :P

Excellent! My sister has a rather large dog, still young enough to be puppy-like. I'll ask if I can borrow her this weekend. With a wireless card and a nice, large hard-drive, I should have a good, mobile storage unit in no time.
