I don't get it. What's the point? Almost 100% of the time, if we need to complain about a kernel version, things are going to break so badly that the #!/bin/sh at the top of the script isn't going to work. So you're adding more work to the boot process that will pretty much never do any good... -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery, LLC -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
