Answers to questions, solutions to problems at any level belong on -questions where others can see them. I'm not so much worried about this one specific conversation but if I don't respond loudly to the above comments, others will take it as being open season. Anything that covers "how to go about learning" rather than "how to fix the problem" sits well in a newbies-only environment, *because* newbies can fairly safely help each other on that without being pre-empted by more advanced users. -- Regards, -*Sue*- find / -name "*.conf" |more To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
