Iain,

Same request to you, then. With only "it does not work" to go on, I am
sorry to say that I cannot do much more than empathisize with your
frustration. But if you would provide the details about the steps *you*
are following and the output showing the details, then maybe I can help in
one way or another. If you have specifics about factual errors in the
guide, then we can look to fix those.

Regards,

Andy

The command line is your friend.
