your response of course begs the question. why is it so few read the documentation before mailing a few hundred people asking basic installation questions?
And if you were a C/C++ program, then you would be correct. But since you are a human being and can make assumptions and deductions, you probably knew that he was asking how to do it. So what happened here is that someone asked a question and you decided to be a smart-ass.
in any event, he asked "is there a way", to which the correct answer is "yes".
ask a, uh, "specific" question, get a specific answer. or, read INSTALL and save us all this whole dreary conversation.
Or just answer the question and save us all the smarter-than-thou attitude.
then of course there's that whole issue of people replying to both the list, and the sender. another layer of annoyance.Two solutions for that:
1) Reply to the sender only and save us all this lecture. You could have just sent him email and saved us all this crap.
2) Get off the list.
cheers,
Try spreading some next time.
