Except we have merged the lists. This was asked for by people on the linuxppc-embedded list after (they assured me) some discussion. I was not on that list, so took their word for it. The merge was announced ... Anyway, it is done. <annoyed> If people are not smart enough to figure out how to unsubscribe themselves form a mailing list (which includes the big URL hint at the base of each message and more hints in the headers) you have to wonder why they were subscribed. </annoyed> -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell s...@canb.auug.org.au http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/
