Hi.
The new Guy (Me.) Didn't ask what is RTFM because somebody Explained it to
me.
After that I didn't want to Make any comment because THERE IS NO COMMENT
ABOUT THAT ANSWER. I will never answer that. If I'm 'JUST NOT VERBOSE' I
would have pointed where can find the answer in the manual.
I tried to read the FM so many times. I don't understand about the 75% of
the manuals and the other 25 % is playing with the computer and seeing how
everything crash ...
I'm not a Guru in computing and I don't have so much time to Read the
Manuals or Practise by Myself, I would love to have it but I don't.
Once I tried to use MAN TAR, After 1 hour trying options I gave up ..., I
think a good Idea in the Man is an Example of each command (a basic one for
Slow people as me ...).
