More like "subject to restrictions imposed by laws of physics (but not all, especially if you try to delete stuff)". :) As for noobism, that is a state cured relatively simply (har-har). Try this: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/howtos.html Of interest among the many, many HOWTOs: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Unix-and-Internet-Fundamentals-HOWTO/index.html http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Networking-Overview-HOWTO.html http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/From-PowerUp-To-Bash-Prompt-HOWTO.html http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Filesystems-HOWTO.html Linux From Scratch HOWTO: http://www.tldp.org/guides.html#lfs Also this: http://www.netfilter.org/documentation/HOWTO/networking-concepts-HOWTO.html But before you do any of that, take your time and read the Command-line manual, written by Mandrake Linux people in the long past year 2004. They've since changed their name and now go by the name Mandriva Linux. Make sure to read the section 3.4 which explains the pipes and is the point where I fell in love with Linux, eight or nine years ago. I can't find it on the net anymore, and the manual is 1.5 megabytes large, so in the interest of not hogging the list, I will sent you a mail with the pdf. -- Fourth law of programming: Anything that can go wrong wi sendmail: segmentation violation - core dumped -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
