I guess I'm just kinda down on Roman after he sent that Gmail invite to this list a while ago. And it seems that he's using debian-users as a personal tutor while building his system, asking here first thing every time he runs into a small gotcha, even the really simple stuff. Look at his posts, and the volume of such, for the past month. We all need help now and then, but sheesh... Maybe I'm being a bit hypocritical, as I tended to flood #debian on IRC eons ago when I first started using Debian. And, guess what? The kind folks there told me the same I told Roman: Make some effort to look this stuff up yourself instead of flooding this forum. ;) -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
