Once, instruction books started out by walking you through a number of everyday tasks you were going to have to master. It wasn't until you got the basics down, that theory and structure were introduced. These days theory always comes first which often leaves the truly ignorant more lost than they were to begin with. If someone came out with an old fashioned manual, I might be able to learn this. Please help me get away from Windows. m l mack To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
