Are you sure it's really removed? It should still be there as "/root.old". I probably should change the behaviour of the save routine to behave differently for directories as argument, but it doesn't remove it. (Changing gconfig to only accept files in the save request would probably be nice too...) bye, Roman - 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/
