Interesting argument about whether Linux will be able to attract Joe Bloe
without going brain dead. Anybody remember ten years back when the big
argument for M$ over Apple was that although it was more complicated to
configure, you were better off 'cause it gave you more control in the end?

Which comes back to my original posts, yes this should have been handled by
install. But since it wasn't (and your original post only asked how to do
