Please direct me to this mailing list's HOWTO or README! I am a newbie to
this form of help. I do not understand "threads" I have never actually
participated in one of these. I thought we were just emailing back and
forth. Also, I today I would spend an hour on trying to fix 1 error message
then I eliminate that myself with no help, so I feel that the subject
changes, and I no longer need a reply. Then what do I do? Thanks for
understanding.

Getting annoying eh? If anyone had bothered to take the 30 seconds to reply
like you eventually did ... the matter would have been cleared up hours ago.
I appreciate you taking the time to respond with your comments. Thank you.
note
I help people for many hours a day writing for my website
http://linuxpeople.cc which is newbie-friendly and and features no paid
advertising or sponsorship whatsoever. I am patient with slow people such
as myself when I help in #linuxpeople on irc.dal.net But it seems it is
much easier for some l33t people to make a newbie feel stupid, than to lend
a hand, no matter where us newbies turn. Please remember we were all
newbies once and some of us actually read the HOWTOs, READMEs, etc and still
get stuck! (which is why you have these alternate forms of support ?)
I am not going giving up. I use rpms when I can since they work well on red
hat, and compile if I have to.
Please just tell me now if there is legitimate support here or am I wasting
my time?
Do you support the installation of the RPMs? They install but don't work
properly.
Do you support the installation of the source? That is when I encountered
the error.
You can rest assured that once I learn what I am doing I will help as many
people as I can.
Thanks again
