I've learned (from michael lucas) to never ever assume a reinstall or build world will go flawlessly. It seems every time I have issues with serial ports being moved around and my ppp connection thus not working. If it's not that, it's something else. So I'd prefer to have the time to work it out. It's usually minor, but I don't want to be under any time constraints to figure it out. Besides, I want to print out a copy of 'man tuning' and repartition/reinstall from scratch.
