OK. But CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS was defined in official Debian x86 kernels, so that most maintainers probably could not see the problems, and it could take months/years to get them fixed. But it seems that CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS is no longer defined in 2.6.22 for x86 either (it was defined in 2.6.18 for x86). -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
