Description Nicholas Wourms 2002-12-16 21:46:07 UTC

Have you ever had to emergency boot from the live cd just to find a massive cut 'n 
paste job awaited?  Well it isn't fun when there's no gpm, so I'd like to propose adding 
gpm support.  Of cousrse, it would be off by default and rest soley on the user to 
config and start manually from /etc/init.d/gpm.  Something so small, I don't see why 
this wouldn't work...

OK, I'll add it soon. Thanks for the bug report (leaving this bug open until 
the issue is actually fixed...)

OK, I'll bend the rules a little. I added "gpm" to my auto-build script so it
will be automatically included on all CDs built after 20021221. Thanks for the
bug report :) (Closing this bug)
