You shouldn't need to read the entire FAQ to find answers for specific 
questions.  Instead, use the following two methods, in this order:

	* Use the Subject Index at the end of the FAQ to look for the 
subjects that describe symptoms similar to what you are experiencing, and 
if found, read the sections to which the Index points.

	* Look in the Table of Contents for sections that seem to be 
pertinent to your problem, then read those sections only.

If both methods fail to produce results, chances are that your problems 
are not described by the FAQ.  In that case, you should ask here, using 
the reporting method described in section 6.11 of the FAQ.
