Oh boy will there be dupes. People will check for them first you say? Some people are _still_ getting "Loop doesn't compile in 2.4.14" messages. Why search archives when you can be the 900th person to ask the same question. Even Richard Gooch's page for showing whats wrong with the current kernel and how to fix it to get it to compile seems to be completly overlooked. Maybe if it were moved to www.kernel.org people would see it ? *shrug* > agreed, it's a pain in the arse. plus you can't do it on the road, or on > the beach with a martini in hand lying next to a beautiful woman (or > man, if u like 'em :) but I guess not many of us would be thinking of > kernel code at a time like that..... *grin* One of my favorite quotes : "Holiday just means hacking from a different location" -- jgarzik ?
