I would first like to offer my appologies for my previous post to this
thread, i sent it off in the "heat of the moment". 

Second, i would like to use my previous post to point out that perhaps there needs to be a manifesto of sorts to show people where and how to look for desired information. I would not mind undertaking this task with the help of oen or two others using the standard fedora/redhat documentation methods.

Anyone up for this task besides me?
