Description D.A.M. Revok 2003-03-10 19:15:59 UTC
INSTEAD-OF
releasing a kernel-source tree with unix PTYs enabled, and saying in some
separate web-page to disable 'em...
( the install-docs )

Fix it once, at the source, rather than posting a memo hand insisting that
countless end-users discover the /need-for/ the fix, and commit it...

TIA

( yes I know this means running make menuconfig on the gentoo kernel sources
once before posting in the portage-tree ( if I'm saying that right ), but it'd
be appreciated in the cleaner system that'd be Gentoo standard, eh? )

for new users.
