I think Akemi reacted to your thread on the CentOS Forum: <http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=15510&forum=37> which did get you timely responses that did not say "RTFM" and then you posted here in the mailing list. Also, recently, there was someone who hid behind some email address. Here you are TechGuy and on the forum you are d4rkf1br and that's OK, but, it would be better to ask for help either in the Forum, or here in the mailing list, one place or the other, and then be patient and courteous and friendly, until the issue is solved. If you hang out here for awhile, you will find that the developers and the most knowledgeable and helpful people on this mailing list all use their real names. Along with many of the newbies, like myself. If you are new to Unix/Linux, this is *NOT* something you are going to learn quickly. There is a very long learning curve. IMHO, many of the people who are on this list and using this Distro are using it because they get better support from this mailing list than they would if they paid for a support contract with our upstream. You can get discouraged and give up and leave, or, you can continue to hang out here, and learn, as MHR has. Someday, maybe he will be one of the gurus here. He's smart. You can be smart or you can be dumb. It's your choice. Good luck!
