Many times i saw and did things like "time make bzImage modules" or "times ..." to know how long kernel compile process takes, many users and admins use similar technique. Is it possible to add this feature to genuine kernel? Like adding (in the top Makefile, kbuild hackers please help) START_TIME=`date +"%s"` END_TIME=`date +"%s"` _TIME=$(($END_TIME-$START_TIME)) or in another form with days(anyone use 2.6 on 486 ;) ?), hours, min,sec. And another small bug - if your locale is not posix, f.e. for non-english languages UTS_ strings in linux_banner will be corrupted. Maybe set posix locale in Makefile, so unpractised users will not be confused? _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail - 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/
