There are a few posters that have had *enough* and you can tell. Ever walk into a busy federal or state office and meet someone who has dealt with the very same issue you will confront them with for the 10^6 time? It happens, people get snappy, it happens. Still, if you really want to solve your issue, you grin and deal with it. > I've been a linux user since 0.12, so I'm hardly a newbie.

Great PR. I have been on this list for about 5 years, and I don't think I have ever seen one instance of "Fuck Off." I have heard many people advise others to go away, but never actually as blunt or blatant as that. > I hope to be around for a while longer.

The reply of "don't let the door smack your butt" is generally reserved for individuals that clearly are out for vengeance while in a persuit of anger venting. I don't want to confront a redfaced moronic maniac either. I hope your install is smooth and the system purrs just the way you want it to! If it doesn't, I'll (and others will) still be happy to help if I (we) can via the list. gl tatah - -- Jaye Inabnit\ARS ke6sls\/A GNU-Debian linux user\/ http://www.qsl.net/ke6sls If it's stupid, but works, it ain't stupid.
