I'll be trying it on a large machine tomorrow, but it at least looks stable. In real life no sane person would do that, would they? Make with a nice -10 was essentially invisible. Maybe tomorrow the lateest -aa kernel on the same machine, with and without my own personal patch. -- bill davidsen CTO, TMR Associates, Inc Doing interesting things with little computers since 1979. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
