  To clarify the problem: we still don't know what that configuration was.
Telling us it's the same now as it was before you reinstalled the OS gives us
no further information on top of the zero you've already given us.

  Telling you to use that script *is* "true instruction", and what's more, you
appear to have comprehended and followed that instruction perfectly well.

  It said to use the script, you used the script, what more are you asking
for?  Now you say that they need to be more instructive, but without actually
explaining what problem you had with them.

  You're not actually trying to get help, are you?  You won't tell anyone any
details about what's wrong, you just want to whine about how awful we all are.
Well, you go right ahead and get it all off your chest.  Hope you find it
satisfying.  Doubt you'll find it effective, though.


    cheers,
