It's a case of going into the mountains wearing sandals and carrying the mountain boots in your backpack knowing you should wear them (at least if you read the hidden documentation. If you can leave the sandals at home, you should do that (they are of no use there), but the patch from this(?) thread will just make you change shoes after leaving the house and carry the sandals in the backpack, which could easily be done in userspace (provided you've enough RAM). The real patch would teach how to tie the bootstraps of tmpfs before leaving the house. -- Ich danke GMX dafür, die Verwendung meiner Adressen mittels per SPF verbreiteten Lügen zu sabotieren. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
