I "know" what I am doing :) And I don't think Linus or most other people from the traditional _Unix_ community would approve of my acts ;) > This is an area, which whould be left alone with a 20 foot > pole !

I applied the technique which Binand had suggested to my kernel source, mind you, I am not talking about my whole system out here, I am just talking about my own, highly modified kernel source. What happened after a while was, the whole screen started spitting out gibberish. It was normal when I shifted to another console, but my original console stayed bust till I rebooted. > Leave /dev alone ..... unless you are SURE of what you are > doing ... in which case, why ask ? When I complete what I am doing, I bet you are gonna be *stunned* by it. Yes, I "am" _absolutely_ SURE about what I am doing :) Could you please try running those things on a backup of your kernel source and see if you could duplicate those errors? Eagerly awaiting your reply. ~Mayuresh _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
