Just like in the old punchtape days. It's only after we got the GUI in the form of MacOS and Windows 3.x/9x/NT/XP/2Kx, that people appearently forgot that skill : Read documentation, before using system.

Oh, I'll be the first to admit it: I will typically read the docs in a quick once-over to get me started, and then go back read more once I'm up and running, so I can work out the rest of the details. Most of the time it works for me, as the READMEs tend to make more sense when I have something in front of me to play with. Occationally though, a crucial detail slips by and the pucker factor rises for a few minutes (like this.) When things do go tits up, I go back to reading the docs and Googling. Occationally, when I am completely flummoxed I'll even stoop so low as to ask trusted friends to point me in the right direction.
Speaking of which: Dutch, one of the high points at shmoo was dragorn pointing out the guy who posted on the kismet forums: "Tell me how to run kismet. Do not tell me to read the README."
