I believe there is a need for a message board that everyone could submit bugs of the kernel after being informed by a help file on how exactly this should be done. I really don't feel we, the kernel users, should spend your valuable time and post these here, as well as we need a help site that tells us how exactly we should submit our kernel issues. And anyway, to be informed how we can recognize what is actually a bug and what is a user fault from an easy to read web site. I find it too difficult for us, the average kernel users, to have to read books and books of documendation - and eventually become hackers - when there would be a site that covers this step by step and doesn't need to much efford on research. Please let me know if you do care at all anyway, or you're only concerned about -your- bug discoveries (I'm not implying anything, let me add). Anyway - let me know. - 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/
