You just put tears in my eyes with laughter. I understand now what it
means. It isn't that simple for me, though. Every time I read the
manual I get confused. I wish there was a page like the one for
learning how to google for that. The manual puts you at a level of
adding a -a or -r or something like that, I just found out what dpkg
means. I am anxiously awaiting a day when I can type in man and can use
the information I read.
I just love you all. How can you put up with me?
