[ Remainder of obnoxiousness elided. ] Wow. I sure hope I didn't convey the same sense of sarcasm--nay, outright meanness--in my answer as you did in your message. Y'know, you really ought to be careful jumping down someone else's throat for asking a naive question, particularly when it's so simple to search the mailing list archives and determine that, you, too, have asked a few, erm, "uninformed" questions yourself. Just do a search for "osiris2002@yahoo.com" in the mailing list archives, and peruse through the things that pop up. Some of them are quite recent, as a matter of fact. Try remembering what it's like to feel lost and uninformed. And if the frequency of a particular topic starts to annoy you, there's always procmail to filter away messages you don't like. (Oh, and before you congratulate me for *my* message, do please note that I didn't quite get it right, either. As Marc Slemko points out, there *are* some man pages available with Apache, ones the port doesn't install and ones I missed in my search of the source--*despite* my authoritative-sounding statement that they didn't exist. You win some, you lose some.) ----- Brian Clapper, bmc@WillsCreek.COM, http://WWW.WillsCreek.COM/ Lubarsky's Law of Cybernetic Entomology: There's always one more bug.
