Even if I could figure it out, I could never teach a part time lab assistant. I can't create an ever more complicated chain of tools and scripts for things like this because at some point an ordinary human will have to administer these systems, possibly adding users with a Fedora tool like system-config-users. Is Fedora supposed to be a desktop distribution for users or not? How in the HELL do the people who put fuse into the distribution expect "ordinary" people to use it? I refuse to believe the makers of the program expect it to be such a massive pain in the ass. But, then again, I'm often surprised. I still can't get over the difficulty of mounting drives when not root. -- Paul E. Johnson Professor, Political Science 1541 Lilac Lane, Room 504 University of Kansas
