I *almost* feel sorry for you, after several people here have tried to |
| 34 |
help, even WITHOUT you giving an actual direct error message that |
| 35 |
you're receiving beyond the *expected* behavior of the fsck being |
| 36 |
skipped on boot, and even despite your being belligerent toward |
| 37 |
several of the most helpful people I've seen on the list overall. What |
| 38 |
I do fail to understand, though, is why a person would post, asking |
| 39 |
for help, disregard every bit of help given, and *both* act as though |
| 40 |
they're being forced to listen to help they didn't ask for *and* as |
| 41 |
though they're not getting any help at all. If someone gives you an |
| 42 |
answer that is wrong for the situation as you see it, it typically |
| 43 |
means one of two things... 1) you didn't give all the details needed |
| 44 |
for them to understand what you're seeing and to know WHY the answer |
| 45 |
they're giving isn't correct, which 2) you're overlooking or ignoring |
| 46 |
something that they're trying to point out in their answer and, |
| 47 |
despite what you may want to hear, they are in fact correct. Now, |
| 48 |
a-typically, it's possible you know what's wrong, what's causing it, |
| 49 |
and the solution, so you can instantly know that answers you're |
| 50 |
receiving are wrong... but in my experience, in those cases, people |
| 51 |
don't waste other people's time asking for help. |
