I did, but I was a complete n00b back then, and I didn't argue my case very hard. I don't think GNU took me seriously at all. The patch won't apply to the newer coreutils, or whatever it's called now, and I never have gotten around to fixing it. I played with dpkg-divert instead. It's handy though. I miss it when I work on other people's machines. :( -- Michael McIntyre ---- Silvan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
