This is a valid point, and very frustrating -- especially when the stable versions also seem to expire after a couple years. (But in his defense, after this happened, I was able to build a cdrecord alpha on my HP-UX 10.20 box and replace the now-defunct "stable" one. It works. Until this one expires, anyway.) (Hmm... y'know what would be handy? A command line switch to show when cdrecord expires. So I could PLAN for this sort of thing, rather than getting called by users saying that they can't burn CDs.) (Also, a better error message than "Alarm call".) > To > discourage people from trying a released stable kernel before claiming a > Linux bug seems pretty hypocritical to me. There hasn't been a stable Linux kernel release since 2.4.*. Linux 2.6.* is a development series. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
