yes, yes, this is all good and well, and having downloaded this program "John the Ripper" about 5 times and trying to instal it about 17 times, i wonder why i even bothered. it's all great and lovely that it works for you, but what about the rest of us? i am at a complete loss as to how to install this thing. yes, i read the readme and install stuffs, but aparrently the files i needed weren't downloaded. i probably sound stupid and ignorent but i'm slightly agitated that it's not working for me.
