Make up your mind! How's that different from what I said? You asked for an alleged solution that simply works, obviously you need one different than what you've tried before, and nobody can do that without knowing what you've tried or giving you the same things to try. Yes, I don't like that approach either - in the other part of what you discussed, recipes versus details of what's involved are two different methodologies, and I'd prefer good instructional information than just a list of steps that work for someone, and may not for another. But you *did* discuss both ways (another suggestion, as well as good descriptions of the processes). -- (This box runs FC5, my others run FC4 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
