ROTFLMAO!

I was attempting to provide readable info (clear enough to be able to see
what you need at a glance...but documentation nonetheless. I sensed a great
disdain for the command line and wanted to help him move a bit closer to
reading man pages etc....but without scornfully writing "RTFM" (which I have
always disliked as a response)
I also thought the docs explained in a fairly clear manner all/most of the
rpm options in case he needed to run other rpm commands later.
<sigh> something like "give a man a fish he eats for a day, teach a man to
fish...<blah blah>"
Regards,
