Bonjour, Georges, Thanks for replying to my request (which, as I figure, is also a request from many Ubuntu users). I read the description of the script from Kim Kulak and I understand it fits my future needs. I sur am interested in having it to try and adopt. You can send it to my actual gmail address.
Merci! Gilbert Dion g 2015-07-15 13:14 GMT-04:00 Georges Rodier <[email protected]>: > First, my apologies for writing in English only.
