You are welcome to add to the guide whatever you feel useful from my original post. The post itself, however, add a slightly different slant: remember to the expert users, more than to newbies, to help keep the list and its archive as lean and low volume (=useful) as possible. The problem is not one newbie posting a request in contrast to the user guide. It's the ten or so "veterans" that instead of saying "we couldn't ask better than help you, but will wait to do so until you repost the question in a form that makes the archives usable". I friendly hate people that contribute to mess up threads, answer to hijacked ones, bloat the archive not trimming the text, and the day after tell the next newbie "tsk tsk. Netiquette, kid: we discussed this yesterday, do read the archives, before adding noise to the list". Or maybe complain because the search function of the archive itself doesn't work. Ciao, Marco F. -- Marco Fioretti mfioretti, at the server mclink.it Fedora Core 3 for low memory http://www.rule-project.org/ If development calls for an ever-growing number of technical experts, even more necessary still is the deep thought and reflection of wise men in search of a new humanism, one which will enable our contemporaries to enjoy the higher values of love and friendship...
