I have tried that very thing many times. It seems to fail in complicated situations. And it never gives much of a diagnostic message beyond "your configuration cannot be implemented" or some such. I'll try to repeat those experiments and give details, starting tomorrow, if I can. > >> Is there a lot of censorship on this list too? > > That's an irrational comment. No, that's a question. I am new to the list and would like to know if it works efficiently or it is a wasteland of egos like most of the internet. Can anyone express opinions here without being shot at? I sure hope so.

But all you know is that I have tried manual installation and failed. Thus your contribution so far sounds like an ad hominem. ;-) > _______________________________________________ > users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
