That's precisely the wrong type of question to ask in IRC. Those types of questions are answered by the innumerable "here's how to do X on hardware Y" webpages enthusiasts all over the world have published. When you're getting started you're way too stupid to understand conversational answers to those type of questions. You *have* to read a good deal. It would be like taking a newborn to a restaurant. They're not going to be able to order off the menu and they will continue to go hungry. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
