Though probably the prof would expect you to read the references on the subject. Generally one of the main purposes of an assignment is to get the student to become familiar with the written resources that are available and how to find them. Just finding the information is almosst secondary. But, on the other hand, whenever someone posts a somewhat OT question there are far more irritating posts wasting much more bandwidth and reader time than ever got affected by the original OT or somewhat OT post - in the order of a couple of magnitudes more eg a hundred or two posts per each OT post. So, I'd suggest these self-righteous flamers find a good religious discussion to perform their cathartic ritual in. ////jerry > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
