Thank you for posting this resolution, Peter. As someone who has to do
alot of web searching to resolve Linux problems, I really appreciate it
when someone posts a detailed resolution to a problem they've asked about.
Too often it happens that some resolution is found, but no specifics are
given, or maybe the original poster just abandons the thread. People like
me are led down dead ends in such cases. If something is going to help
Linux to filter down more to the level of the common man, it's going to be
clueless users (sorry if it's an offense to group you in that category; I
really have myself in mind mostly when I say this) searching for, finding,
*then describing* resolutions to the problems they encounter. Advanced
users often presume a level of knowledge that makes their resolutions
useless for less technically adept users (like me). Clueless users often
fill in important details those more knowledgeable are likely to leave out
or pass over cursorily.
James
