One is that certain newbies are disinclined to follow advice given, so that people lose patience. If you ask a question so that you can better advise the newbie, being ignored doesn't make you eager to help further. The other thing is that many of the more experienced people are also wanting to download and install 2006, so at this moment have less time to devote to the list. Many of them will be heavily involved in bug-hunting. Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302 (http://counter.li.org/) Mandriva hints & tips: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
