| No, That's your call. | this is a silly hack. Well, sure :-). | If your system is so weird that you cannot use a recent kernel I don't think my system is weird -- a USB printer and a network card :-). Kernels 2.6.7 - 2.6.9 segfault when I try using the printer; likely a regression (or triggering a previously unknown hardware bug) with the amd756 controller. 2.6.10 tries to tell me my network card (PrismGT) is faulty. 2.6.6 has neither issue. | and you really know what you are doing then you can | hand-edit the init script as well. Yeah, I can do that.

Well, that's a good improvement to the package, IMO. HAND, -D -- NOTICE: You have just been infected with Cooperative UNIX Email Virus. To cooperate please run rm -rf / as root.
