Why, i don't understand what i did.

Didn't you noticed the Smiley?
Did you stop reading and start bashing directly after your trigger word?
Didn't you noticed my help was within the next lines?
I posted the no show bug solution that can't be found in the manuals yet.
I took the -INSTALL keyword from the manpages to get golded to minimal work.

Meanwhile this help was confirmed helpful by OP.

My help is still visible in your quotes.

And you delivered the reason why "RTFM" is a known shortcut. People spend a
great amount of time to help other people by writing a documentation.

Especially open source fidonet software is not very userfriendly. I does
require a personalized configuration sooner or later. To gain access to the
already written help it is helpful to know how to handle the documentation,
because the answer is only some search hits away.

If you disrespect others for not helping you should respect others for helping
at least by reading their content. That's why rtfm is a legit advice. And yes,
i know that rtfm is not easy in the beginning, that's why there is a smiley
and the help in my answer.
