Thank you Cris, for illustrating one of the prime shortcomings of all
documentation ever printed - it can't force anyone to read, just as I can't
force you to read my message before you typed out a reply.

Should I have put "with development tools installed" in all caps?

I'm personally rather tired of this thread, as it seems to be mainly
between a) people who are too lazy to do a little research but evidently
have lots of energy to bitch, and b) people who have no sympathy for those
people in group "a."  I apologize for continuing the thread but I felt this
message might illustrate to group "a" exactly WHY they get no sympathy.
