I probably wouldn't use 5 different how to's ... stick with one all the way that's proven.

Jeffrey Hunter at http://www.idevelopmentinfo.org has a nice site plus Werner Puschitz of course.

If you are just playing right now set the permissions wide open ( oops I guess you already did that previously ) ... well something must be wrong in your plan of merging together the different how to's. Go with one that's proven and documented and don't go too far out with new distributions. Received on Mon Apr 30 2007 - 15:39:39 CDT
