Hi,
I am not sure if I am sending mail to the correct mailing list. I am looking
out for specifications to write a TTY Linux device driver. So far I was not
able to find any documentation. If any one has any idea about the TTY
drivers/documentation pls. inform me.
Thanks

What xargs does is take a list of things on standard input (usually

(or whatever) on each command line, until the

forced to do that altogether TOO often lately.

Hi there,
Anyone know why a '?' is appended to the outputted filenames?
For example if I do,
%post
echo "Does this run in Upgrade mode?" > /etc/jeff

Is this normal?
Thanks
