There is nothing wrong with telling a newbie to RTFM or Google for his problems. Thats how things are in the *nix world. This isn't paid support that we should get off our lazy arses and spoonfeed teh newbies :) Besides, its become the habit of this list to pick up a seemingly unrelated and trivial point and create a huge (useless) discussion over it. Nobody is an exception to this. -- Dinesh A. Joshi -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
