This is something I just found out that I got a kick out of. If you've compiled a kernel before you've probably realized that you can clean the source tree with 'make clean' or 'make mrproper'. 'make mrproper' does much more than just 'make clean'; it removes everything except the source files. So where does the term 'mrproper' come from?
It turns out that household cleaner, "Mr. Clean", is sold in Finland as "Mr. Proper". :-) http://www.eu.pg.com/ourbrands/mrproper.html http://liste.ferrara.linux.it/archive/maial/2001-February/000031.html -Evan /********************************************************************\ Evan McNabb: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://evan.mcnabbs.org System Administrator, CS Department, BYU GnuPG Fingerprint: 53B5 EDCA 5543 A27A E0E1 2B2F 6776 8F9C 6A35 6EA5 \********************************************************************/
