This was my point. However, for a document writer, doubt, stupidity, not enough coffee in the readers' belly and thus not enough caffeine in the brain should always be assumed. Thus, it should always clearly be stated in the document when a command example needs to be executed as root or with sudo privileges, regardless of what characters are present or not in the example prompt. This is technical writing 101: always be explicit, verbose, when dealing with example commands readers will be executing on their machines. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
