Remember, I have to track only two files. Mine was the point of view of a small kernel worker, I maintain only one driver and I don't want to commit more resources to the task than what would be reasonable. The difference in storage space is measurable in several hundredth of megabytes, and that is a big gain on my poor resources. However, that does not remove any value from your howto, that is both complete and useful. -- Daniele Venzano http://teg.homeunix.org - 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/
