My machine has been off for about the last month, I was installing a CD writer and my secondary hard driver controller ide1 is scrambled, and it scrambled my hard drive. Backups would have been nice but that's what the CD writer was for. . . I'll be moving it up to newer kernels in the next while. Together with some hard thinking about what I really want in the kernel and what is really useful. But I need to review 2.3.7 yet. If you could explain (pseudo code maybe) what you are looking to do in a little more detail it would certainly help motivate me. :) Eric -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
