			8.10Beta

	~~My goal here~~ is to ~~have a collection~~ of ~~useful hacks~~ for ~~the frustrated beginner intend as a quick~~ and ~~dirty guide to just getting LMCE to work damn it~~		lmce 8.10beta as of aug 2010 is at best a bit touchy, but this leads us to the first rule of installing 8.10beta for noobs and that is

	~~This guild assumes a stock as you can get, to fresh install as possible, configuration 7.10~~. ~~With one core~~ and ~~at least one orbitor~~.		Rule #1 Hands off mister!!! Thats right your dual core 3.8Ghz dual channel interleaved 4gb ram beasty is busy so walk away and come back later you'll be happy you did.

	~~----~~		**noob tip: on the core ctrl+Alt+F1 ,log in and run "top" at the top right you'll see load,
			if it goes above 5 on a dual core, its too busy for you go away.

			Rule #2 Never delete any thing from the admin web site media director page. lmce will go ape shit i'm sure the devs know about this and hate it very very much, just learn not to eff up everything and you will be fine.
