Hi Karl
Why do you call Hardy stupid ???
Why don't you listen to your fellows advices and guidances ??
Why making everything simple ... so complicated ?

Being 63 years young I am really not a Linux nor a Unix expert !
Worked with IT professionally, since 1969, much more than half of my
life !!
The advice, guidance, hints, suggestions AND support given here is
great !!!

I appreciate every contribution and feedback, extensive or small. ;-)
I am willing to experiment and try what I do understand and 
do not touch what I DON'T. ;-))

If anything needs to be called stupid or what else:
Mostly it's manmade by MYself. ;-D

We always used to say:
Computer make NO errors / mistakes ...
... hu/man make them !!! :-)

Good luck and and have fun, 
cheers, svobi
