Not the friendliest user interface. Sufficient for testing/debugging but a good opportunity for improvement. -- Russ Anderson, OS RAS/Partitioning Project Lead SGI - Silicon Graphics Inc [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
