at the same time, i assumed that operating systems that you buy or steal or have automatically installed on the computer that you purchased would have the time, money and inclination to set this for you. like many assumptions, this was wrong. my assumption was that there were no problems with expensive corporation backed software. my assumption discovered the corporation backend? i will not assume this. instead, the next site will make a universal howto section that branchs when necessary into operating systems; either for language or for actual computer differences. as they are discovered. if there are any differences. no more assumptions. even based on an assumption, i errored on the side of caution. i assume i will keep doing this .... carol _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
