Well, let's start wth the stuff they know they don't know, and go from there, shall we? A more precise way to ask might be what don't they know how to do. I worded it that way purposely out of my experience teaching raw beginners in technology. This question often gets a more actionalble response than asking what they want to learn or know, precisely because they may not know what they don't know or how to ask. It's much easier to figure out what somebody doesn't know how to do and go from there. RD -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
