I've held my tongue on this part of the thread to avoid any more noise, but you have brought back to this "Community assistance, encouragement, and advice for using Fedora.". I don't consider myself a total newbie, having used Fedora since FC1. However, my use of Fedora has primarily been as an end user not as system administrator, yet I now find myself in a position where I must carry that role and so I must learn. My field of expertise is far removed from computing. Everyone is ignorant, just on a different set of subjects. I'm sure the health care professionals who see to the needs of the pets loved by people on this list often shake their heads in wonder that some basic aspect of pet care was not met. Every day people who are ignorant about their animals come to us, but we lead them and educate them. Some learn fast, some slow, some go back off with the fairies. The subject of the thread was deliberately made so obvious that any who felt it beneath them to answer could just press delete. Similarly the first question, so no more time would be wasted. The problem is now solved, thanks primarily to Tim's methodological answer. Thanks again Anne. -- Regards, Simon Slater Registered Linux User #463789.
