Hi List,

Sadly Vinny is not doing too well here so far.
I wonder if anyone has pointed him to

How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
http://linuxsilo.net/docs/smart-questions_en.html

This page also has a good explanation of the attitude to expect on
lists such as this one. I'm not sure Vinny understands the attitude of
the people he is trying to communicate with. My fear is his experience
here will turn him off linux when he is obviously very keen to have a
go . . .
