Leif, lose the attitude. You are asking questions of this list and |
2 |
asking the list to do work ascertaining what you have done and what you |
3 |
are capable of doing. Please read |
4 |
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html |
5 |
We know nothing of your problems except that you can cut and paste |
6 |
errors. I am not offended by your terseness, just frustrated that you |
7 |
aren't being forthcoming with more information, which would allow people |
8 |
to immediately help or state inability to help past where you have |
9 |
already got to. The extra information you have given below doesn't |
10 |
particularly help and as I think you want the problem fixed I suggest |
11 |
you become involved in the solution instead of expecting a solution to |
12 |
be given to you because you are using gentoo's product. Open source tech |
13 |
support doesn't work like that unless you have a support contract (== $$$) |
14 |
Thanks |
