Which I guess shows a difference in attitude between the kernel devs and udev devs. --=20 Neil Bothwick You are a completely unique individual, just like everybody else. --Sig_/K4+_/rD2MK_p66CLv9cx.dG Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlDa4jEACgkQum4al0N1GQN/NwCg1KNgZ/idBUZ2SRoAJHQTULWY nbIAnA8ggCX6ut1vDSxfAjXSCDPcmJeH =/Ug6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/K4+_/rD2MK_p66CLv9cx.dG--
