If it really was as simple as following a set of instructions, which it isn't, it could do it all by itself. Installation program = set of instructions Just about all of us know that some customisation is required. Whether that be to make it conform to personal preference, or to get the thing to actually work. The install routines are not magic. No automatic process is. They just pick from predetermined choices based on certain criteria. Criteria which doesn't always make the best choice. It's like those hideous multiple choice forms we have to fill in from time to time. You come across questions where none of the choices are correct. When you explain this, and your situation, to someone who tries to help you, they invariably pick the least appropriate choice for you. Sometimes I wonder whether Microsoft programmers are hired using a multiple choice form, where dumbest answers gets them in. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
