   The advice Greg Mayman got was partially from me and from other Linux 
users on the Arachne list, but sadly was misunderstood. The advice was not 
bad, but perhaps not clear enough for a Linux newbie.

   And Greg has emailed me to say he is now unsubscribed from this BL list, 
so further help will not reach him.

   But it does raise the point about complete Linux novices. Sindi has said 
she was a Linux novice, and so was I. We both approached this list in the 
right spirit and were helped, but guidance in the form of documentation is 
not easily found for those who don't ask THIS list.

   Perhaps it is going to be worth the effort to rejuvenate the FAQ that is 
still there at the BL1 website, and aim it at BL3 novices.   I would be happy 
to host it on one of my domains.

Regards,
         Ron
