Yes, welcome to the newbie holding cell.

I'm trying to get a miner going using Inaba's guide.
I think I have everything right except I get an error when I try to connect to a pool.
I was going to ask for help on the thread but am stuck here for a while.

I've been a Windows user much too long and need to learn Linux.
Maybe someone here could tell me what I need to know.
When I enter ./poclbm.py -d1 --host=de.btcguild.com --port=8332 --user=
I get the following error:
poclbm.py: error: no such option: --host

I usually get something like this when I make a typo, but I don't see it.
I tried a space between d and 1 but it didn't matter.
