No the old method did not have -- anywhere.

If RMS is reading, would the FSF like to start selling GNU Hurd t-shirts, like fsfe is? 120 km/h, who drives that slow. You'd have to be 2 hours away from Toronto to see someone going that slow. Put the octane in your car, it should be a quick trip at 135 km/h. As Jeff said, Thug will be out in full force for debconf 2. Hopefully we can get Joe Drew in a Hurd t-shirt for a couple hours. > On Monday 15 April 2002 09:36 pm, James Morrison wrote: > > --- "B.

Just to be clear: kernel (hd0,3)/boot/oskit-mach.gz root=device:hd3s1 -- NB. those partitions are made up, but would still work if your system was setup that way. Wait, no they aren't made up, I have used this line before. ===== James Morrison University of Waterloo Computer Science - Digital Hardware 2A co-op http://hurd.dyndns.org Anyone refering this as 'Open Source' shall be eaten by a GNU __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
