Howard,
To let you know who cares <g> get in ask questions _very_ one was where you
are now.
As for me well i'm probably 2 steps behind you.
mine you i've had to do @ 4 reinstalls due to one thing or another but hay
it's all in a good cause (learning the ins and outs of linux).
Had some had from folks on the list on a number on issues.
Given my 2cents worth too (and being a newbie didn't get scoffed at).
every one whom i've come into contact with have been helpful and sincere
about there desire to help so all i can say is post post and post your
questions.
No one will think anything less of you.
cheers.
Dave Lilley.
