good that you're willing to RTFM...
- for specific issues, i bet yahoo/google will have some pointers
and howto
for reading .. i'd read HOWTOs before i read tooo much of the gory details
that might past too high over my itty bitty head
i'm more of a "show me" ... here's $100 bucks for an hour of your time for
when i want to dig into the haystack and dont wannah putz around in it ..
- there's probably local geeks in the city/town your in that
has debian or *nix meetings and/or installfests
- learning new things is always fun .. but .. its a time tradeoff too
- eg. 5-minute problem should not turn into a 5-day reading list
- if you're local in silly-con-valley, there's a new group starting up
for doing code hacking and probably will do packaging issues too
- part of svlug.org
- one thing on my long todo list in between lots of higher priority stuff:
- create "my-custom-kernel.deb" package but unfortunately
for me, i'm avoiding the "RTFM" and will one day look for
google: "how to create *.deb" howto :-)
