What else was that | machine up to at the time ? Mostly I was just testing the ppa driver, so mostly "nothing."

Nothing else other than daemons. -- ~Randy - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
