He's right. Thats why people who know, use Debian.
What do you think the maintainer does. Stuff a program into a package
without checking it out and setting it up so that it will run?
Lynx runs right out of the box. It works and works well. Just
because you haven't been able to read and understand the manuals is no
reason to condem it.
You are doing/saying the same thing about LRP. Because you can't
understand the manuals, you are off on a rant about why people can't
write manuals you can understand.
I have been tryong to help you with both LRP and Lynx since July 18,
off this list. I directed you to the Howto's then and I just finished
a reply to you where you asked me "What language are the Howto's
written in". You have yet to read them but complain how bad the docs
are. I've had it. I tried to help. I've had 11 personal mails from
you and you have not done one thing yet, on your own. Every mail is a
complaint that the Linux Docs are bad and Windows is better.
Well I have done all I can. I have had a feeling for the last two
days, seeing all of your negative comments, that you were a troll.
Now it doesn't matter. Don't ask me for any more help. With you
attitude, I think that Windows 2000 is the place for you. Buy a Cisco
router, if you can read their manuals, and forget about Linux.
My apologies to the list. I have just had it with this guy.
