Also sucks because letters after numbers a read as "units". Just compare 5h, 3kg, 20cm, 9in, 1.3h Also putting letters after version numbers usally gives me a feeling that the author is not sure about what he does. But this is just me, I guess I hope util-linux is going to learn all that one day :-) Regards Ingo Oeser - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
