Happy hacking and have fun with the Hurd! + +-- Arne Babenhauserheide + +PS: Writing this blog entry took about 20 minutes. The raw text is longer than a qoth, but it is much faster to write, because it avoids the main time-eater: Gathering the info with the necessary references to make sure that people can test what’s in here. |
