Gee, some starting place! A pointer to the wrong stuff. You sure know
what you are talking about.

I chastise people like you, who apparently know little more than posting
supercilious messages about using Google, or providing irrelevant links.
Again, if you can't post anything of more substance, and without the
superciliousness, DO NOT POST!

I agree. When are you going to post anything of substance?

This is a follow-up.

Thanks to all for the help and suggestions I got. I decided to go the
garnome route. The instructions in the README were very clear and
mostly correct (for slackware). There was on dependancy that I
couldn't resolve but it turned out to be in an application being built
at the end of the make. It was one that I didn't care about and not the
desktop. So I was able to get garnome up and running.

Thanks again.

You could always try waiting for Dropline Gnome
(http://www.dropline.net/gnome/) to release the 2.8 packages. They make
probably the best Gnome packages for Slackware, and 2.8 should be
available in a couple of days.

So your idea is that it is better to let a man starve than to teach
him how to fish?

If he is starving he neither has the time nor the energy to fish.

But don't let common sense get in the way of supporting your anal
pals.

BTW: you have, by far, the ugliest .sig in usenet. It is an
offense to all of us who subscribe to this group. If you had any
respect, either for yourself or others, you would remove it. But
then again, if you had any respect for others you wouldn't post at
all.

RTFM

What kind of a moron uses pgp to authenticate a nickname like
Faux_Pseudo?

HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!

But if he can bother to configure a USENET reader and ask a question,
he can bother to go to http://groups.google.com and check the answers
to that particular question that people have been posting for the past
5 to 10 years. Having primadonna pampered spoiled brat winbabies come
in and snivel, pule, whine, carp, piss, moan, bitch, complain and make
otherwise rude, annoying noises gets very tiresome with age, thank you
very much.

Like it or, not, that's the way it is.

Have Fun!

You're the one whining, carping, pissing, etc. All the other
people do is ask simple questions.
