What a way to rip-off runningnak3d's guide.

I mean, I can understand rewriting it... I did the same. But, just to parse it out for me to follow better.

But your statement "...there was no root guides available..." is just BS.

Creation date on the text file was November 7, 2017. Just over a week after runningnak3d made the original post.

Difference is, I didn't feel the need to post someone else's work, in an attempt to try claiming credit for it, due to nothing more than a "rewrite".

What you meant to do is this: (FIFY)
