RE: RH8 NEWBY-HELP!

[d <odak@xxxxxxxx>]

To start with I do NOT use anything but plain text, if it came out any 
other way is because I was using 'Ximian v1.0.8' that came with RH8.  I am 
NOT that well versed in using Linux at this time, the other copies I have 
of Linux type software were never used on the web, would NOT work 
there.  RH8 is the first one that has worked for me.  I apologize for any 
inconviences this has caused.  As far as the ISO's are concerned, I am on a 
dialup/w 56k modem, the end of that.  Cable, DSL, etceteras are NOT within 
my budget.

Yes, I have heard that the O'Reilly books are GREAT, what I know about 
WindBloats is from the 'school of hard knocks'.  Would like to get FREE of 
that system that is why I am working on learning Linux, NOT just Red Hat, 
that will be attacked later.

I thank you for NOT deleting and responding, that is the shortest and to 
the point I could think of at the time.  I do NOT have the time nor the 
disk space to list all of the problems that have shown themselves.  There 
is NOT a problem with the install it is with the 'keyboard' NOT working 
correctly when using the 'root' access, NOT 'su' from my user access.

"And in my own stupidity, I did not change the subject.  Sorry."

This is a quote from one of your other messages . . . If I may?  You are 
NOT "SORRY", you are doing a GREAT service and I do appreciate what you 
have done.

From another one of your messages:

"And how the heck did this come through as HTML?!  AAAARGH!  One more reason
to hate Outbreak."

That is a good question, and what is OutBreak?  I am running 'Ximian 
v1.0.8' that came with RH8.  I thought that was setup for TEXT only, again 
I apologize.

Thank you,

'd'
