I really didn't want to ask Paul Brook that, but sure you'll fix my cluelessness right here, right now - tell me, tell me, why Linux has dynamic-loadable modules support, which clueless passers-by like me call "plugins"? It must be closed-source diversion, no? Those Linux guys should really take that GPLv3 pill, don't you think? Yummy! ;-) >> P.S.

Well, let's face it - that's your comments on *.PIF files and XML parsers that add spice (*1) to the discussion. So don't be surprised that people start to reassure... ;-) Oh, and while we still talking (and to add even more confusion), how'd you guys managed to kill "ps ax" to work in busybox 1.2.1? I really miss it here, when loading my embedded images into QEMU... > Rob *1 flamy -- Best regards, Paul mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Qemu-devel mailing list Qemu-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
