- Agreed. I think the best way to do this, however, would be to fill out the
- bug report template by hand using vi and then let the person finding the
- bug in question upload it to a machine that can mail over the Internet
- and THEN mail it to ml-linux-bugs@dg-rtp.dg.com.
-
- By the way, ibug isn't meant to post directly to comp.os.linux. If
- you want to post the bug report template to the newsgroup, that's fine,
- but any formal report of the problem will do for the newsgroup posting.
- Once the problem is verified as a bug, you fill out the template and mail
- it off. I'll post the two templates this afternoon so that others can
- get to them directly without having to go through the shell archive if
- they're not on a UNIX system.
-
- Sorry about the confusion.
