Right, but your best bet (IMHO) would probably be to stay off the list if you aren't very experienced. i.e. if you can't figure out how to get onto a listserv =). When I first joined I unsubscribed after a couple weeks because it was too much mail, I couldn't answer anybody's questions, and couldn't benefit from the answers they got from others because I didn't understand enough. So I asked questions for about the first six months that I used debian with the request that replies be "cc[ed] to me, as I'm not on the list". Most ppl do this already, but not all. Now that I'm more experienced I get more out of the questions other people ask and answer and can occasionally even answer a query or two. ===== Fish of Borg Visit me on the web! http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Frontier/4874/stccg.html ///Archaeologists near mount Sinai have discovered what appears to be a missing page from the Bible.
