Ubuntu user's report

Umm, "A. Khattri" <ajai at bway.net> ,

This response does not help me. I stated I've never used sudo before, so 
perhaps an explanation on how to use the command, or a pointer to some 
documentation would have been more useful.

I realize many people who participate in these lists are far more 
knowledgeable than others. The point of these lists is to help people, not 
scoff at them.

Thanks, anyway.  ;-|
