Thank you! An answer I can reply happily with / to, rather than thinking that, unlike what the website says, this group is not so helpful.
As a matter of fact, this group has done everything it could to help you. It's repeatedly told you where you need to ask your questions, but up until now, you haven't accepted the fact that you're asking in the wrong place.
Joe,
I think that many of the responses Richard received read as "you're asking the wrong list, go away and ask on the correct list" without ever telling him what the correct list WAS. Nor was it ever explained to him where things would migrate between the "test" and "user" lists. I've been on various RHEL and Fedora lists for upwards of ten years and it can be confusing to me! But I'm an old fart and forget things.
To be honest, looking over the thread, some of the responses were also worded in a, shall we say, less than friendly manner? This list really exists to help people. No, we don't know all the answers, and yes, sometimes we get snarky, but that should be the exception rather than the rule. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - I never drink water because of the disgusting things that fish do - - in it. - - -- WC.
