Man, supermount is just not important enough to sweat like that. We know it's not
comprehensive
yet. Blow steam at your boss, where it probably rightfully belongs. (I agree with
the 'reduce
the caffeine' comment)
Apparently some of y'all have resolved ALL your configuration issues and are down to
the 'last
mile'. (har har)
And what is this long-running modem brand talk? May we please discuss Linux-related
issues?
Maybe people are uncomfortable to speak of what they really need for fear of being
flamed as
newbies, a practice of =assholes= who stink pretty bad after a while. (yeah, I
said that)
MANIFESTO:
People who step on those asking honest questions should be blocked from this list.
Can we
arrange that, MandrakeSoft?
I'm here to teach and learn. We are dealing with some very complex software, and
winning! This
should be:
- a =freethinking=, =fair=, =kind=, and =open= forum,
- safe for all,
- in the spirit of scientific research,
- and for the benefit of all.
Share what YOU learn people, no matter how trivial it may seem, and we will appreciate
it. This
is not AT&T, Microshaft, or IBM; insecure jerks keep it to themselves. This is
supposed to be a
labor of love, remember?
