You can't implement it that way in the corner cases.
I reread SuSv2 again and didn't found corner cases.

Anyway the broken SuS standard wants that pathconf follow symlinks.

Greetings (and Linus and Alan if youre listening, thanks):
I'm having a few bizarre problems with an adaptec 19160 scsi controller and
several Linux distributions inlcluding Redhat 6.2 and 7.0, and I was
wondering if anyone encountered anything similar and might be able to help.

machine, but Red Hat 6.2's install would not reliably get past the
infinite reset stage.
So, there is hope that once you get something new enough on the machine

Good question. I'll find out.
Are you _sure_ the window size is being set correctly? How
is it being set?
I'm fairly sure. We
Ouch, thats an ugly solution.
But why would it be the installer routine as opposed to some wackyness in
the adaptec module? The kernel used in the installer routines for most of
these distros is the same kernel used to boot the installed OS, right?
How would you go about copying the IDE disk
