Greetings All,
After thinking for a few days I have come to the conclusion that the communities definition of spoon feeding and my are different. If someone would like to give me the community definition so there is no more misunderstandings and time wasting that would be great.
let me explain this with a comparison. here's the kind of question you *should* ask: "hi. i want to know more about X, so i read the files under the Documentation/ directory and wrote a simple test program to try it out. but i'm confused because the output of the program doesn't match what the Doc file suggested, so i added some printk() statements and here's the output in /var/log/messages where things don't seem to match what i thought i should be seeing. i've attached the sample program, and i've posted the entire program output to dropbox where people can look at it. this is all being done on a freshly-compiled 3.18 kernel." and here's the kind of question you *do* ask: "hi, i want to know more about X, can someone drop everything they're doing and explain it to me?" see the difference, nick? rday p.s. this post was, unsurprisingly, a waste of time. -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
