> _Rule of thumb 1_ > *Never ever* press the panic button whenever in trouble. > > Now be it as simple as a messed up Linux install ;-) how useful was this comment ?? Did it help the guy solve his woes..nah.. it jus pissed him off.. how good was that ?? > _Rule of thumb 2_ > *Never ever* take the easiest/fastest way out. If I wanna install somethin first.. I am gonna take the fastest and usually the easiest way out.. lotta ppl have other things to do in a day than just sit and install a simple OS.

RTFM, which is an acronym for "Read the fine manual". help if u can.. if hes not read it.. show him where he can.. that would have been a help .. not the statement.. > Simple.
