Attached is a patch to improve how commands are used in examples. This is just to make all the usage of command homogeneous (sp?) so: 1- A command that needs to run as root is preceded by '#' 2- A command run by an average user is preceded by '$' If nobody is against this patch I will commit it to CVS in a few days.
