atapicam trouble ()

ahh, took a break and using the drive to test a Solaris-10 install,
been years since I tried this...  had to go find an old Intel nic
just to get networking up...  I'm a glutten for punishment!

Then I forgot to "copy" /etc/nsswitch.dns on top of
/etc/nsswitch.conf and for the life of me could not get "OUT" on to
the Internet... (giggle)

If that atapicam attempt on my part did not blow Xorg out of the
water and leave me at 800x600 I'd never be painfully beating myself
with Solaris-10 now!

Downloaded "pkg-get" so things are bearable! (grin)
