If I have a text file open, something.html comes to mind, If I edit it
and save it in one rxvt and open it in another rxvt, my changes may not
be there. If I save it *a
Well,
When a puzzled Alexey wondered whether the problems I was seeing with 2.4.4
might be related to a failure to execute 'make clean' before compiling the
kernel, I replied in the negative as I *always* clean up before compiling
anything. Yet, for the sake of science and such I moved the kernel
