Thanks Yan,
you created a great resource here, respect.
It certainly seems like a few ppl here have been given a board as
project with little prior knowlege of linux and, like you say , been
thrown in at the deep end.
That's why I took pains to explain the level of help they appeared to
need may be more readily available elsewhere. I honestly think that's
the most useful advice to give. Other have given similar help.
Thanks for your wise and calming words. It's very easy for ppl to
take things the wrong way on mailling lists and get annoyed
unnecessarily.
At least this thread has created a bit of noise for you. ;)
good will to all !
