Hi.
The new Guy (Me.) Didn't ask what is RTFM because somebody Explained it to
me.
After that I didn't want to Make any comment because THERE IS NO COMMENT
ABOUT THAT ANSWER. I will never answer that. If I'm 'JUST NOT VERBOSE' I
would have pointed where can find the answer in the manual.
I tried to read the FM so many times. I don't understand about the 75% of
the manuals and the other 25 % is playing with the computer and seeing how
everything crash ...
I'm not a Guru in computing and I don't have so much time to Read the
Manuals or Practise by Myself, I would love to have it but I don't.
Once I tried to use MAN TAR, After 1 hour trying options I gave up ..., I
think a good Idea in the Man is an Example of each command (a basic one for
Slow people as me ...).
Common We all like LINUX so ..., Some help wouldn't hurt.
