Cross posting, especially such basic questions is frowned upon. It's a
very selfish attitude, childish even, as in "I need everyone's attention
and I need it right now". It shows you don't appreciate the effort
people put into answering your questions and you don't care about
wasting resources. If you post to the correct list your question will
most probably be answered fairly quickly.

Please have a look at f.e.
http://linux.sgms-centre.com/misc/netiquette.php#xpost

or put something like "cross posting mailing lists netiquette" in your
favourite search engine. Do some reading about how people expect you to
behave before posting to mailing lists.

Leonard.
