Gerald and others often spend time on helping a lot of people and that is fantastic. That's why we all have the responsability to first try and do everything in our power to solve our problems ourselves by plunging into a book or scanning the archives or dropping a mail to support at sun cobalt. To me the developers list should only be used if you run out of resources and you are in a jam. Then you can turn to this list. We all must be aware of the valuable time people are spending on trying to help their collegues. And indeed if this list is not used in the right way, people like Gerald with a lot of knowledge will stop monotoring the questions. Personally I would regret that very much.

Peter, I do believe that your type of comments are not very helpfull to the initial problem either. Dominik, Yes you should have started by searching the archives, because otherwise the more helpfull people ( like Gerald ), might stop reading the list because the same questions keep on turning up and up. Basically,why I stopped posting answers. But here is an initial bit of help. Within the /etc/skel/group/en_US/web directory you can place whatever files you wish to provide initially to your customers. The directory for the users is slightly different, but I guess you will be able to figure out that one. If not search the archives, and only if you cannot find any help their post to the list. Cheers, from sunny Switzerland. If anyone doesn't agree with my point of view.
