I have participated in other mail lists and havent come across this situation before. I am committed to learning UNIX and plan to stick with FreeBSD - I hope I can help others in time. First, Please set your M$ emailer to wrap lines at 72 chars or so. Second. This list is read by a huge amount of people not connected directly to FreeBSD.org. There are some people closer connected, but the majority is not. If you have a question that no one has an answer to, you'll most certain get no answer. If you don't write anything proper in the Subject line, you will most likely not get an answer, since many people (that usually answers) will not read a mail that has no real subject. So there is no "staff" of people that answers, just the crowd happily using FreeBSD. -- __o regards, Gunnar ---_ \<,_ email: flygt@sr.se ---- (_)/ (_) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
