To solve _what problem_, by the way?

Earlier this month, you wanted a seminar during the then-upcoming BALUG 
meeting to learn how to do diagnosis.  I mused a bit on CABAL's mailing 
list about some (pithily worded) candidate principles of diagnosis.  One 
was:

o  Make sure you are extremely clear on what the problem _is_.

(If one is not clear on what the problem is, and why one is trying to 
address it, then maybe figuring out _that_ is a higher priority.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OTOH, and not necessarily an "of course moment", I humbly suggest for your 
consideration that instead of solving a particular "what problem" or 
learning how to "do diagnosis", in the more general sense maestro likely 
wants the admirable goal (IMHO) of simply gaining some hands-on experience 
and a fuller _learning_ of how one would "do a distro build from 
'scratch'meaning 'naked' hard drive and possibly even reflashing BIOS" 
(from reference [1]).

Another source for my own distinct impression of this learning goal is the 
quote further down in maestro's previous post of [1]:
~~~~~~~~~~ quoting ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This building of a distro is especially good for newer users and those 
wanting to improve their command line [that's what you type in the 
terminal when someone asks you to open one ;-)) ] in a friendly 
NON-judgemental. NON-narcissistic, environment which hopefully the 
teachers and other experienced users will be keen to help and answer 
questions and cuss at things with you...
