Not my day

Today is not my day. My new computer arrived on Monday, and I tried today to install it via floppies. As usual 90% of the Floppies are broken. Not as usual FreeBSD (4.10, 5.2.1, 5.3-BETA) refused to install on the machine. Either it errors out during newfs, claims the disk is too somall or fails to load the mfsroot during boot.
I then installed OpenBSD 3.5, which worked without a problem, but OpenBSD does not support the re(4) NIC.
I tried buying an external CD-ROM enclosure, but the Digitus I bought does not work, neither with a Lite-On nor an Aopen CD-ROM drive.
I decided to stop fighting with my computers for today and insted finish reading Terry Pratchett's "Monstrous Regiment".
