I have to agree with you. I don't like the concept of spoon feeding people.
Just spend a little time reading and hopefully they'll understand a little
better.
I had a recent problem installing woody and getting the installer to see my
SCSI adapter. Usually at the beginning, I just quickly whip through the boot
prompt and as alwasys, away she goes. But this time, no sda. I thought
I would read a bit at the beginning, and noticed the "vanilla" option at boot
prompt. Typed in vanilla, and boom, scsi card loaded.
Read folks, read!
Cheers,
Mike
