i've noticed, but it's not clear just how upset one can be
about this. i have to keep reminding myself that the majority
of HOWTOs are written by volunteers, who for the most part put
the time and effort into it strictly for others' benefit. for
that, one certainly can be grateful.
the difficulty comes in, i think, when red hat (among others)
bundles the HOWTOs with the official distribution, implying
at least to some extent that it is officially-sanctioned
documentation. it's this ambiguity that causes the problems,
i think. any comments on this?

i know, but being the inordinately curious type that i am,
i also like to know how to do it on the command line. no
surprise, but sometimes linuxconf doesn't do what it's supposed
to, and i always want a plan B.
if ever i figure out quotas in their entirety, y'all will be
the second to know. :-)
