okay, I am biting the bullet so to speak.

I am working on a FAQ that will answer as many of the common questions that we get asked as possible, as well as listing EVERY application and what it does.

Morning J.P.
Your idea and volunteerism will be appreciated. Feel free to use anything that I have contributed in posts about xsceensaver and gcombust.

I think that in many cases the differences between individual hardware may play a role in how DSL functions. Examples would be the soundcard or modem issues.

On the three computers that I have tried DSL on over the last 7-8 months I've run into only very few problems that were truly hardware related. My problems have been mostly software and, lets call it 'wetware' related. "Wetware" being ye aulde analog brain

Anyhow, I'm willing to help out with the FAQ bassed on my own experiences. You can leave me notes or we should start a different thread.

Cheers,

I lost XP again, and had to register under a new name because I didnt have the old passowrd saved. I must make it a point to get cfdisk included in the faq. That is to say stay the hell away from it.

i will even put my lame HTML coding skills to work and make it indexed. you know, where you click a question at the top of the page and it takes you down to where that question is answered. (I'll use the old FAQ page for reference)

It will take a while, but i will get it done. probably a week if i don't get swamped with homework. but i'd bet on something like 2 or 3 weeks. college sucks like that sometimes. -_-

If you want any assistance, I'm free quite frequently (i don't work when it's too hot or raining). My html skills are also limited, but I did do it professionally for a while

The html is pretty simple for making the indexing.

Quote

Code for link

<a href=#link1>Link1</a>

Quote

Code for reference point

<a name=link1>Link1</a>

Those should be all you need to index the FAQ

If you need any more help, the HTML Code Tutorial should help.

Thanks guys, I'll probably put you to work, milkshaw, when i actually get the text down.

And I know the HTML for the indexing is simple, but this will probably be a little more complicated that the present FAQ. Unless I just decide to be even more lazy than normal ^_^.

anyways, didn't get to work on it yesterday, had to repair my truck. stupid 22 year old piece of crap...
