Cirtainly I can see why we want this warning out there and very much in the submitters face, it just feels a little heavy handed to make them change option to get the result. Would not just always appending this message in --file mode always be just as effective? Perhaps suppressing it with -q, or with some new "i know what I am doing" option? -apw -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
