22 But I remember to, for example, this kind of message:
23 elog
24 elog "Please consult the upstream wiki if you need help"
25 elog "configuring your system"
26 elog "http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page"
27 elog
28

30 The idea would be to make it to be only shown at first message and,
31 later, rely on people reading /usr/share/doc/e4rat-xxx/CONFIGURATION
32 file if they want to remember that tip
