	Damn it, _always_ swallow your pride and ask for help!  Linux is
	not something which follows any kind of natural law, like e.g.
	math.  It is all man-made stuff, someone did something, wrote
	something, a program ensued.  So you gotta learn what was on
	that someone's mind.

Best of luck, and keep asking!
