<sigh>

Ken,

you definitely need to read up on the FAQs. This question has been asked
n-thousand plus one times over the last weeks. While the mailing list
archives are less than usable, this question (and many more) is answered in
the FAQ documents. Here are the pointers for future reference:

Red Hat FAQ: http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/rhl/RedHat-FAQ/
             (a version of this one should be installed on your disk as
	     well, if I'm not mistaken)

Red Hat Linux User's FAQ: http://www.best.com/~aturner/RedHat-FAQ/

Please try to consult these FAQs and help to spread the word about them to
make this list even more useful.

Thanks and happy Linuxing,

Thomas
