OK, right now, go grab a shell prompt and start exploring the filesystem (there's very few places in the filesystem you can't change to as a normal user so don't bother going root), particularly through /etc. Things will start making *way* more sense. > To then run across one suggestion along with language suggesting he > wasn't telling the whole story (so I could evaluate what to do with it) > and inferring I'll have trouble if I use his suggestion was maddening. Nobody else has the rest of the story, either. Not that it matters, odds are the guy working on the package knows what's wrong with his own package. Did you think of looking at the package information and perhaps emailing the maintainer for an explaination? Something like that isn't likely going to be answerable by the list (most of the developers don't read this list). > And if I did, what does that say about the documentation? > Yes, I am an idiot sometimes.
