To begin with I need to have some minor successes - even if they be by "point and click'. I want to use my system in ways that are appripriate to me - which are basic home user ways. Yes - I want to understand and be able to execute things in the CLI. However it is going to take time for me to learn that. Sorry if I am such a dumb kiwi who is only happy when has sheep backed against the fence. Being a townie I have no idea what you refer to! cheers Rosemary > -- > stephen kuhn > mobile: 0410-728-389 > illawarra and regional new south wales > ----------------------------------------------- > GNU/Linux/OpenSource Solutions and Alternatives > 100% Microsoft Free :: Crashing is NOT an option. > Registered Linux User # 267497 > ----------------------------------------------- > I AM DEATH, NOT TAXES. *I* TURN UP ONLY ONCE.
