I guess that is my fault too. It may be less a matter of 'fault', than a matter of becoming accustomed to the *nix way of explaining things. Linux was developed by programmers, for programmers, and is just now beginning to show a more non-programmer-friendly face, as its popularity increases, among non-programmers. If you teach yourself to understand the syntax used in the *nix man pages, you will be 50% of the way there, in understanding Linux. 'Programmer-ese' (or hack-speak) is a language in its own right, and is very precise where computing is concerned, but if you try interpreting it as conventional English, you are probably going to miss a lot of what is being said. -wittig website: http://www.robertwittig.com/ weblog: http://robertcwittig.blogspot.com/ . ------------------------ Yahoo!
