I have to agree with you. I don't like the concept of spoon feeding people. Just spend a little time reading and hopefully they'll understand a little better. I had a recent problem installing woody and getting the installer to see my SCSI adapter. Usually at the beginning, I just quickly whip through the boot prompt and as alwasys, away she goes. But this time, no sda. I thought I would read a bit at the beginning, and noticed the "vanilla" option at boot prompt. Typed in vanilla, and boom, scsi card loaded. Read folks, read!
