It was not self-evident to me that the supfile that would be created by default was not the same supfile that was referenced on the web page. As to your use of the word "infantile", I'd have to say that this says more about your thought processes than mine. I've been perfectly willing all along to acknowledge my lack of experience in this area, which is the entire reason why I came to this mailing list to try to get help -- obviously from people other than the omniscient types such as yourself that can't be bothered to actually be helpful to anyone who has less than your own perfect knowledge of every single line of code throughout the entire OS. I'm more than happy to RTFM (I've written some in my time, and I've told more than a few to RTFM myself), if I'm told which section of which FM I should R. I don't usually ask for assistance unless I've checked out everything I can think of, and when I do ask questions, I usually try to make it abundantly clear what resources I've already used, what instructions I've tried to follow, and what problems I'm having. -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ____________________________________________________________________ |o| Brad Knowles, <blk@skynet.be> Belgacom Skynet NV/SA |o| |o| Systems Architect, News & FTP Admin Rue Col.
