[Ubuntu-be] Desparately needing help

[amedee at amedee.be]

Dear Lucien,

ubuntu-be is not a support mailing list. It is a list for organising
Ubuntu-related events in Belgium.

I suggest you ask your question on the Dutch-speaking mailing list
ubuntu-nl op lists.ubuntu.com, which *is* a support mailing list.

Kind regards,

Amedee Van Gasse
