I see no need to mess with the "missing" script for this (but I've never understood what the missing script is ever good for, I just guess it has to do with sometimes ignoring errors and then leaving generated files like configure and Makefile.in unchanged). Being able to run make and

Just doing "configure; make" on GNU/Linux builds a working kernel. Under the assumption ofcourse that uuencode and mig are installed... If they aren't the compile process will break at some later stage. Cheers. ___ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PRO

Thanks a lot! It is weird that there was no report send to bug-hurd (yet) about the patch I've uploaded. Anyway, the patch that I've uploaded is without the generated files. Guess that savannahs email notification system is broken... Cheers. __

I've included the regenerated autoconf output in this patch (configure, etc.). Eech, don't. No need to bloat the patch with unneeded info that can be regenerated. The queues of the keyboard driver were not initialized until the device was opened, this caused a crash if a user presse
