With all the respect, you can't expect others to sit all day and bother to 
answer other's people questions. you are not the only busy guy. I am glad to 
help, when there really are problems, but try doing some stuff by yourself!

Right, but you can work some alone. You know how much I worked configuring 
my XWindows before addressing Here and comp.os.linux.x? a LOT. cause if you 
just come and try to ask things which are easy to do, adn are explained 
everywhere, you'll get flamed. EVERYWHERE. not only in linux-il. Ever tried 
posting such a question into some comp.os.linux group? 
People are not reading mailing lists/newsgrroup to help people who can't 
read a nice HOWTO. They read those things for discussions, are are usually 
glad to help people who encountered REAL problems. 

Take this into consideration.
