Wrong, go reread the threads all the way back to the start. It began
with sarcasm and idiocracy from sybren (and you' find examples of it in
other threads of his as well). And yes, Debian was also, the issue, I
just dropped it after a while and attempted to focus on Fedora Core 1.
One bug at a time. Problem was, as a newbie Troll Twit, I'm not even
qualified to report a bug because I'm not sure if it's a bug. I would
think before you could report a bug, you wouldn't be considered a
newbie, because you would have to know enought to confirm it is a bug in
the software and not somewhere in the hardware or in the settings used
to load the OS or to get the SCSI drivers working. I fully accept
responsibility for my actions. Does anyone here? Wait, I can answer
that.....Not a chance. It's always someone else who started it.

If you'll look back far enough, you'll find my posts where I was asking
questions without any inflammatory comments and noone responded, at all.
  Why, because it was above their heads so they didn't and wouldn't
bother to take the time to respond. And no, I wouldn't expect them to.
  Bit I'll tell you what, when I did inflame the Kindercare group, I at
least got some responses that helped, very few. And I believe this to
be the case because there are very few of you out there who really can
help with the complicated issues or the issues that actualy might take
some of your time.

By the way, my inability to deal with my own frustrations resulted in
ANOTHER working box with Fedora Core 1 (this one) without a single
inkling of help from a goddamn one of you experts.
