Nothing by Richard Petersen- He wrote "The Complete Reference Red Hat 
Linux" which was focused on rh6.2.  It was soooo ##@# useless I have 
looked at it about three times since I got it- and each time it failed 
to answer my question, despite being 926 pages full of fluff.

Upset every time I see it,
