all the q i asked on linux-il where answered biautifly with love and
caring.
but i am crying  of pitty when i c , ppl  made along way :
d/l ALL linux
making a root/boot disk
installing it all on the hard disk 
and finaly after a good WEEK  of installing somthing , hell knows what ,
on there hard disk ( i personaly had to rm all the dos/windows stuff
leaving only notron and dos (200m) for TRYING somthing wiered called
"linux" :-\ ) booting it the first time from the hard disk and only then
try to ask a
simple q ( "how do i make this THING warking" ) 
get a verry simple answer on a verry simple q :
RTFM u f.. lammer
("buahahahahaha")
---------------------
i am not trying to change somthing here on the list
i am just trying to tell u :
be nice 2 newbies, they earned it ( u saying u whant 2 push linux , and bark
on a ppl that allready installed it?! ) Why starting stupid wars? 
( like M.Meirzadeh and Marc V. - sound realy like a kinder-garden
Moshe: "and she'll talk your boss so you don't talk this way again"
Moshe - thats not the way!
(Marc answered some "eat u're hat" kinda thing on that one - long life
Marc) ) 

I tryed to open a discussion! Only a discussion!

Whats so fun in loughing on others weakness? Yes it's a weakness !
U can ignore my mails (I know - /dev/null is a good place for them - man
procmail ;) But u can't ignore this fact!
And Marc ,
personaly for u:
u _are_ funny somtimes _but_ ,
remmeber : a sence of humor is good when it's not hearting any1
----------------------
and... i'll say it again
i am NOT trying 2 change somthing in the list
and plz don't tell me anymore things like:
"thats the way it is"
or "take it or leave it"
etc...
i am whant to understand why "thats the way it is"

LOGICAL
