Help with installation

[Leonard Chatagnier]

Then why in hell don't you plonk him again instead of blasting him for
his posts.  If he talks like a Derek, acts like a Derek, he is a Derek
and never will change either.  You don't take criticism or advice either because you know it all. Have it your way; you always do but expect some rebuttal along the way unless you want to plonk me also. I don't mind.
