Indeed. Going a slight bit astray from the original topic, I´d suggest to add a few lines to /etc/motd, like: "If you are a new user to Linux, you´ll want to read the New-User Guide. Do a `more /usr/share/doc/new-user-guide.txt'." This new-user-guide.txt would be a required package, and consist of just a few pointers to the most important information, and with the exact steps on how to read this information with a standard Debian installation. This would also help in reducing the traffic on this and other lists, IMO. Colin -- Colin Marquardt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
