I have nothing to sell or gain from you and simply an end user with specific needs that are not complicated but do require knowledge and guidance, heck i paid a sub for your website!</p> <p>thanks so much for your time and consideration<br /> carmine iorio<br /> fast1 </p> http://vpsbible.com/forums/topic/integration-guide#post-2700 Thu, 27 Oct 2011 16:40:23 +0000 mycol 2700@http://vpsbible.com/forums/ <p>that would be handy </p> http://vpsbible.com/forums/topic/reverting-mistakes-easily-more#post-2620 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 03:26:46 +0000 ivps 2620@http://vpsbible.com/forums/ <p>I am still stuck at the beginning of the tutorials, having issues with the "Keys" and "Firewall"...</p> <p>Would be great if there was a way to revert to a previous state, because I have wipe the disk three times already.</p> <p>For instance, the tutorial with the passphrase key, because I messed up, twice already on this one, it would be easier to go back and remove this "passphrase key" requirement.
