What Distro?
The question was posted in the Slackware forum. That should provide a clue.

Poor assumption. You have way to much faith in the user and their assumptions when giving an answer if that's the case. I've seen plenty of people accidentally post in the wrong forum and in that regard wrong answers to accidentally improperly formed questions. And try quoting the rest of my questions, all of which are valid because the first post wasn't informative enough to give a proper answer. Which the OP eventually responded with a good answer so we could further help them. Nitpicking doesn't get answers, information does so please keep it on topic.

That may be a poor assumption in the Kubuntu and Fedora forums, but it isn't the case that I've seen here in the Slackware forum.

And I'll quote what is pertinent to my comment.
