<p>I Was trying to install Fedora Workstation 44 on my Minibook N150 last night (10 pm, 116 AEDT). The grub menu booting from the install USB drive gave a bunch of syntax errors in the background. The media check failed at about 4%. Re-downloading the file gave the same errors. Trying the 43 version also failed with similar errors. Ubuntu 26 worked fine.<p>Something is definitely scrogged in their install images.</p>

<p>Back in the dim dark ages of the 80s, I persuaded one of the system programmers to print out the source for the curses library, which I the diligently typed in to my CPM/80 machine, I then got the source for rogue, which someone else had done a partial port for, using overlays. It was a bit big for the 48k you could reasonably expect a Z80 CPM machine to have. Mostly worked...</p>

<p>I asked it my standard quest "Who was Adolf Hitler's mother?" and it's been bouncing between her married name and her maiden name, and it's still going!
ollama run hf.co/unsloth/Magistral-Small-2506-GGUF:UD-Q4_K_XL<p>>>> Who was Adolf Hitler's mother?
<think>
Alright, I know that Adolf Hitler is one of the most well-known historical 
figures, but I'm not entirely sure about his mother's name. I recall that 
his father was Alois Hitler, but I'm not sure about his mother. Maybe I 
can break this down.<p>First, I remember that Hitler was born in Austria, and his family 
background is often discussed in historical contexts. I think his mother 
was a local woman, but I don't recall her name. Maybe I can think about 
common names or try to recall if I've seen her name in documentaries or 
books.<p>I think I remember that his mother's name was Klara. But I'm not sure 
about the last name. Was it the same as his father's? Probably, since it 
was a common practice at the time for women to take their husband's 
surnames. But I'm not sure if that was the case here.<p>Wait, I recall that his father's name was Alois Hitler, and his mother's 
name was Klara. But what was her full name? I think it was Klara Hitler. 
But I'm not sure if she had a different last name before marriage.<p>I think I remember that her maiden name was Pölzl. But I'm not sure. I 
recall that she was from a lower-middle-class family, and that might be 
relevant.<p>But to be sure, I should think about the most common information. The most 
commonly cited name for Hitler's mother is Klara Hitler (née Pölzl). But 
is that accurate? I think so.<p>But to confirm, I recall that Klara Pölzl was her name before marriage, 
and after marrying Alois Hitler, she became Klara Hitler. But I'm not sure 
if that's correct.<p>Wait, I think I recall that his mother's name was Klara Hitler, but her 
maiden name was Klara Pölzl. But I'm not sure. Maybe I can think about the 
timeline.<p>Adolf Hitler was born in 1889. His mother must have been born some years 
before that. If she was in her early 20s when she had Adolf, she might 
have been born around the early 1860s.<p>But I don't have exact dates, so maybe I should focus on the name. I think 
the most common reference is Klara Hitler.<p>But I recall that in some sources, she is referred to as Klara Pölzl, 
especially when talking about her early life.<p>But in most historical references, she is known as Klara Hitler after 
marriage.<p>But I think the question is about her name, and it's common to refer to 
women by their married name in historical contexts, especially if that's 
the name they were most commonly known by.<p>So, her name was likely Klara Hitler.<p>But to be thorough, I think her full name was Klara Hitler (née Pölzl).<p>But the question asks for her name, and it's common to refer to someone by 
their married name, especially if that's the name they were most commonly 
associated with.<p>So, the answer is likely Klara Hitler.<p>But I recall that sometimes she is referred to as Klara Pölzl, especially 
in contexts where her maiden name is relevant.<p>But in general, historical references often use her married name.<p>I think the most accurate answer is Klara Hitler.<p>But to be sure, I recall that in many biographies, she is referred to as 
Klara Hitler.<p>Therefore, I think the answer is Klara Hitler.<p>But I'm not entirely confident. Maybe I can think of another way to verify 
this.<p>I recall that Hitler had a close relationship with his mother, and she is 
often mentioned in his early life. The name Klara Hitler seems to be the 
standard reference.<p>Therefore, I conclude that Adolf Hitler's mother was Klara Hitler.<p>But just to double-check, I think her maiden name was Pölzl, but she 
became Klara Hitler after marriage.<p>So, her name was Klara Hitler.<p>But sometimes people refer to her by her maiden name, especially in 
contexts where her family background is important.<p>But the most common and likely correct answer is Klara Hitler.<p>But I recall that in some sources, she is referred to as Klara Pölzl.<p>But in most standard references, it's Klara Hitler.<p>Therefore, I think the answer is Klara Hitler.<p>But to be thorough, I should consider that her full name might be Klara 
Hitler (née Pölzl), but the question asks for her name, and it's most 
commonly given as Klara Hitler.<p>So, final answer: Klara Hitler.<p>But I think I might be missing something. Maybe I should recall more 
details.<p>I remember that Klara Hitler was born in 1860 and died in 1907. She was 
married to Alois Hitler, and they had several children, but only Adolf and 
his siblings survived infancy.<p>But I'm not sure if this helps with the name. I think the name is indeed 
Klara Hitler.<p>But sometimes, in historical writing, people refer to her by her maiden 
name, Klara Pölzl, especially when discussing her early life or family 
background.<p>But in general, when referring to her in the context of Hitler's life, she 
is called Klara Hitler.<p>Therefore, the most appropriate answer is Klara Hitler.<p>But to cover all bases, perhaps it's best to give both names: Klara Pölzl 
(later Klara Hitler).<p>But the question asks for her name, and in the context of Hitler's mother, 
she is most commonly referred to as Klara Hitler.<p>So, I'll stick with Klara Hitler.<p>But I recall that in some biographies, she is referred to as Klara Pölzl.<p>Hmm, maybe the most complete answer is Klara Pölzl, as that is her full 
name, including her maiden name.<p>But in most contexts, especially when talking about her as Hitler's 
mother, she is called Klara Hitler.<p>I think both are correct, but Klara Hitler is more commonly used.<p>But to be precise, her full name was Klara Pölzl before marriage and Klara 
Hitler after marriage.<p>The question asks for her name, and it's common to refer to someone by 
their married name, especially if that's the name they were most commonly 
known by.<p>Therefore, the answer is Klara Hitler.<p>But I think it's also acceptable to say Klara Pölzl, especially if 
emphasizing her origins.<p>But since the question doesn't specify, and Klara Hitler is the more 
common reference, I'll go with that.<p>But to be thorough, perhaps the best answer is Klara Hitler (née Pölzl).<p>But in most historical writing, she is referred to as Klara Hitler.<p>Therefore, the answer is Klara Hitler.<p>But I'm not entirely sure. Maybe I should think differently.<p>Perhaps I can recall specific sources or books where her name is 
mentioned.<p>I remember reading that in "Mein Kampf," Hitler mentions his mother as 
Klara Hitler.<p>Yes, in his own writing, he refers to her as Klara Hitler.<p>Therefore, that is likely the correct name to use.<p>So, final answer: Klara Hitler.<p>But to be complete, her maiden name was Pölzl.<p>But the question asks for her name, and in the context of her being 
Hitler's mother, she is most commonly referred to as Klara Hitler.<p>Therefore, the answer is Klara Hitler.<p>But I think it's also correct to say Klara Pölzl, especially in a 
historical context where maiden names are important.<p>But since the question is about her name, and she was known as Klara 
Hitler during the time she was Hitler's mother, that seems to be the most 
appropriate answer.<p>But to cover all bases, perhaps it's best to say Klara Hitler (née Pölzl).<p>But in most cases, people refer to her as Klara Hitler.<p>Therefore, the answer is Klara Hitler.<p>But I think I might be overcomplicating this. The most common and likely 
correct answer is Klara Hitler.<p>So, I'll go with that.<p></think><p>*Summary:*
Adolf Hitler's mother was Klara Hitler (née Pölzl). She is most commonly 
referred to as Klara Hitler in historical contexts, especially when 
discussing her role as Hitler's mother. However, her maiden name was 
Pölzl.<p>Thus, the answer is:<p>Adolf Hitler's mother was \boxed{Klara\ Hitler}.</p>

<p>I lost my son, my firstborn, Nathan, over 30 years ago. He contracted encephalitis when he was 2 1/2 weeks old, and died when he was 2 1/2 months old. That was an experience I would not wish on the worst person in the world. That feeling of helplessness, and the overwhelming desire to swap places, so he would no longer suffer. My then-wife & I went on to have another child, who is one of my best friends.</p>
