From my perspective, you cannot be relied on as a collaborator.  I was 
actually telling you that I had just spent a -full- day, unsuccessfully 
attempting a -collateral- operation, which it would have taken you -one 
minute- to help with.  My intent was to get on with business, rather than 
bit-twiddling, and it is disturbing that you don't understand that yet.

Please.  What if I were so condescending to you?

No, as I said, I was running the NetBSD Live CD.  I was running -native- BSD 
David.  Yes I saw that message, and if you'll look more closely, I'd tried to 
address that error as best I understood it.

I've decided that I am not interested in learning BSD after this experience.  
The culture is foul, the OS seems primitive, and there is no fallback support 
here.
