my fc 4 isnt yum'y enough!

[jackc]

ok, now i am really embarrassed! i was given the cd's and
assumed they were labeled correctly! 

well, i joined the list to learn more about fc in general 
as well as expand my RH experience.

i guess i will need to stop asking for help from this list, 
but i am going to hang on as i am learning a lot anyway.

thx again for exposing my problems...
