My best guess is that I spent a long time getting it to work, and then when it did work, I wasn't sure why that worked, and not other things I tried, so I entered this helpful remark.
A while ago I spent an hour rereading a system build with all my patches and hacks in it trying to figure out why I did everything. Some of my comments were equally mysterious, especially when there were nice logical things like #set up ramdisk, format and mount && #Install libpcap, install card, reinstall libpcap to recompile with card support which made complete sense followed by #symbolic links or #temporary patch, fix this up later
I fear to look in any of the dodgey scripts I've written over the years that are still core to how bits of my lab work
The thing that frustrates me the most about it is that clearly I was thinking ahead enough to leave myself notes, but not enough to leave myself *useful* notes. I hate that "almost smart enough" moment.
