Two reasons, I am not on the LKML, and second I am suffering BIG time with SPAM from posting to the mailing list. Thanks in advance. ***** Please BCC me by replacing yahoo.com after the "@" as follows" TLD = The last three letters of the word internet Domain name = The first four letters of the word software, followed by the first four letters of the word homeless. My appologies in advance for the jumbled eMail address and request to BCC me, but SPAM has become a very serious problem. The eMail address in my header information is not a valid eMail address for me. I needed to use a valid domain due to ISP SMTP screen rules. --ZX=.8)wWDw+b5NIa Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAjz/mAAACgkQsrsjS27q9xZPVgCeMZES/KWon1DHg17bDEGbmkRJ IjsAnR/39I50KfgODuj3OCLQxtUp7+uS =mZZv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --ZX=.8)wWDw+b5NIa-- - 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/
