I saw a question in linuxquestions.org that I tried to answer. I just wanted to be helpful cause I know the solution, but all kinds of inconveniences got in my way. First of all, registration. I don't like to register in general, much less when I am trying to give, not to take.
When -after all the bureaucrazy- I finally managed to post the reply, it was not accepted because it contained links to other webs. Supposedly, one had previously to post to this stupid presentation forum. This is too much. So, in order for this post not to be accepted, which will preclude the right answer I was trying to give, I will subsequently write some hash words: removed words - grow up.

kodifik - I have moved your post over to it's own thread. Let's try not to hijack perfectly good threads to moan, eh? You have a non-complaint:
  1. Registration: we require registration to ensure we get as many actual human beings as possible. LQ has for a long time had one of the easiest sign ups around. And it costs nothing which is another rarety in a forum of this size and of this popularity.
  2. Link Problem: this is, again, an anti-spam measure. It ensures that we have people who are here to help rather than to spam up the site with links to ebay and to dodgy scam sites. This is one of the reasons that LQ is the among the most spam free boards around. And you don't have to post in the introduction forum, but since this is a community it's polite, n'est ce pas?
  3. The words: what's wrong with you? If you want to be a member here, follow the rules. If you don't leave. Nobody forced you to sign up here. And if you can't work out how to manually get around the link problem, then what kind of hacker are you?
