At least the ones that I see on the help lists. *Almost none of them read that darn DOCs.* Nor do they read the release Notes. Nor do they read the FAQ's. Nor do they read they Known Problems. Really? They don't read the instructions and hints *before* they destroy their working systems with an update? Or with a release upgrade? Really? Not the Newbies? Not the 'I think that I am an Expert' people? Not the 'I have much Linux experience' people? Really? Sure. Just follow the questions asked when something well written about pops up as a *surprise*. <sigh> Sorry for the noise. Back to 'lurker' mode'. -- David
