Thanks!
Now see ... i don't see that on google *or* my "Linux Fedora Core 2
for DUMMIES" book, or the mini books. Rar is running into problems,
like in the selinux directory, its having problems with some booleans,

btw, i have been accepted into the Nursing program here at Cape

tomorrow. i have also discovered (thanks for the tip) that there *is* a
Linux Users Group here on the campus. I was told there is a mention of

inside the computer lab. So if anyone around Cape Girardeau was

doors do not open until the 18th of
