Don't do that.
The rpm is great for doing unattended installs - you are
breaking this possibility and that the rpm closes/redirects
the stdin to /dev/null is the only sane thing it can do.
But this leaves another question - is there any possi

No. I want to accept it, because it is in Single Unix Specification.

Hello,
I have missed the previous discussion, but
I think that this issue comes up quite regularly.
If you need to swap, you want to minimize head
movement and maximize throughput. So you can IMHO:
- use a different disk than where the most
of your data activity occurs
- if this is impossibl

Sounds good, why not? :-)
But seriously, the idea of "jumbo patches" combining more
simple ones is not new - e.g. HP makes it for years.

Actually that's why 75dpi and 100dpi versions of the fonts
exist. This is normally enough - although there are cases
where 1600x1200 on a 17" (i.e. 125 dpi or so) comes handy,
it normally does not mak

Last time I have seen similar problems it was ldconfig -
it somehow always resulted in an unclean unmount.
AFAIR this was fixed quite long ago, but I don't

signal() is deprecated, use sigaction() and friends instead.
These are portable and much more sane interface to signals.

Well, betas are meant to help find bugs, we are all people

According to the Single UNIX Specification V2 you should
