It is impossible to improve it without knowing what causes the problem. And a personal note as well: I don't think that anyone confident with linux/unix will have problems with these instructions. The only thing is that you must be willing to read the /whole/ thing. But again: Don't get this wrong. This should not mean that there are no problems with the documentation. ciao Christian -- NP: Silverchair - Miss You Love --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
