I see. Should != will, and assume is the mother of all fuckups Well, I'm not here to fix every problem you encounter and judging by the sheer amount of posting you make and the level of content, I have to conclude that you are assuming we are. What steps have YOU taken to try figure this out and actually help yourself? Saying that you installed an rpm on a Gentoo machine and stuff don't work, what's wrong? is not the expected level of troubleshooting. I think you should google for "How to ask smart questions" by Eric S. Raymond -- Alan McKinnon [email protected]
