Two questions.  First, what's wrong with the instructions that Jeff posted
on 8/26/2000?  BTW, does anybody know where I can find that message in some
set of archives for this list?  It doesn't appear to be on redhat.com, where
the archives end aug 2, nor on geocrawler where it just doesn't exist in the
archives.  Assuming that it can't be found in the archives, can somebody
post it on a website?  I'll attach it to another mail (not to the list) upon
request.  Second question, why can't people cut all of the useless garbage
(like signatures and mailing list footers) out of replies?  :-)  Later,
