Spoilsport. :-)
Actually, I haven't tested it to see if it will really manage to purge
them all. I suspect it will give at least one prompt, and probably
manage to commit suicide before AL

In case he actually tried to do it, I didn't want him to nuke his entire
system and cause me grief. I had complaints one time when I posted a
similar p

Any kernel patch that assumes source live in /usr/src/linux is

I've never found that necessary (though I also tend not to apply
patches to my kernel source). A well-formed patch should apply
cleanly to a sou

This is a test.
You can restore those files by typing:
dpkg -P `apt-cache pkgnames`

Various sources have recommended doing "rm -rf */pcmcia" before
building a kernel from sources (assuming you're goign to use
the pcmcia stuff in the pcmcia-cs package).
