Good day all;

I still have this $100 set aside for the howto.

No one has stepped forward, a couple of folks said they
were going to soon, but that was the end of it.

I'm stepping it up to $200, because the $100 wasn't
enough I guess.

I really think the community needs this howto, and I know
I do.

For those of you who don't recall;
