I want to thank each of you who offered such helpful, educational advice. The humiliation I experienced some months back on the LFS IRC channel almost prevented me from asking anything at all. It is comforting to find a community of users who enjoy sharing their knowledge with the ... uh ... Linux-challenged types such as I.
We were all there once, my friend. Most of us are still there in one way or another, too. I have learned something about some things, but still know very little or nothing about many other things, so I still do more asking than answering. Just try to learn and be happy, and when you know an answer help someone else, that's all the Linux community asks.
