Honourable intentions I agreee but you seem to have a "disconnection" between your apparent knowledge and your understanding of the suggestions given to get your problems resolved. I know that sometimes I do not understand replies to my questions but I have found that if I admit that and bring the helpful replies down to my level of understanding I make progress. I think Don, that you might be frustrating a few because you have not followed their advice and instead come back with another question (without trying their tip first). Why not either:- -follow the suggestions to fix your problems correctly -try a LiveCD of a Distro which may not have the problem or -stop asking apparently inane questions.
