- It's just that I sort of remember something like this list was meant to
- be a hotline for improvements of the kernel, and perhaps not for things
- like these, since they're not primarily concerned with the kernel itself.
-
- Well, perhaps we should ask... Jeff, how about that??? Or anyone else?
-
- Anyway, I'll start it in the next days. We can still move it later on if
- that's `necessary'. :-)

- Well, if my `sed' or `gtar' keep crashing with mem errors that's not
- what I would call clean software. Yes, of course I can get the sources,
- compile them to get rid of the problem, and in fact that's what I've
- done. I'm only sick and tired by everyone doing his/her own port for
- his/her own setup and/or not giving the port away for ftp at all. I
- just want to bring a bit more consistence in it... :-)

- So perhaps you would also be able to take benefit of it. :-)
