Ah yes, they aren't supposed to be user-friendly :(
Instead it's safe and "uncrashable" - ha! I crash Linux on a dialy basis
here and all I'm trying to do is to get it to see my NIC. (Not as easy as
running a .com file that automatically works now is it!)

What about people that are new to Linux? (RTFM is very good when people
can't even find something to RTFM with!)

So is using SVGAlib as well (according to some people), not to mention
(earlier anyway) sendmail...
BTW: There's no need for you ("clee2") to send mails directly to me, I am
on the list - apparently you are new to it. I and Michael exchanged mails
that he (apparently) wanted to share with the rest of you - in that case it
made more sense since Michael was mailing me and letting the list know what
he had planned, you on the other hand are mailing to the list and also
sending an extra mail to me.
