Note also that search engines like google also let you constrain searches to various hosts. Google has this magic option. Domain Restrict: If you know the website you want to search but aren't sure where the information is located within that site, you can use Google to search only that domain. Do this by entering what you're looking for followed by the word "site" and a colon followed by the domain name. This lets you search the archives without a hefty gmail account full of junk. Start in google searching for "Fedora list archives" and then pick one to frame up a search line something like ppp gaglebot modem Fedora site:http://www.redhat.com There are a number of other sites that host archives of this list that are searched and indexed. One interesting trick for those setting up 'archives' is to dedicate a host name to a list so that 'site' is more bounded. -- T o m M i t c h e l l spam unwanted email.
