I think you're missing the point. There are always people around to help out in a crisis (this list is a perfect example). If your system is crashed and you are a newbie, you're probably going to have to get an expert to help. I don't think that you will find that, for example, X will always crash for a single reason or that even reinstalling it will necessarily solve what is wrong. Therefore, even a command line "help/educate/rescue document browser" probably won't be the sort of help you seem to belive it to be because it would have to contain an IMMENSE amount of information that the new user would have to sift through, and then we're back to the "man tar" example - too much information.
I just think premise behind your proposal has flaws, sorry. -Mike- --- RABNUD <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > At http://news.gnhlug.org/article.php?sid=375 is: > > >I''ll toss around ideas with anyone, or walk them through an install or > whatever ... but I won''t make it sound easy.
