I wasn't sneering at it. My goal was to advise people not to waste time
performing a 4 hour install process that takes 6 CDs that each need to be
read in twice only to find out they can't run anything. IRIX is one of the
worst OSes to go thru such a process for.
Because the way you worded it appeared to invalidate what was done without
offering anything more than "a waste of time". Had you written, "It's
a
waste of time because <logical reasons>", then I probably wouldn't have
been a dick about it.
