Hmm, on this note.. I just got the manpage for setup of a friends Linux
machine.. Here is an excerpt -
DESCRIPTION
setup is called once from within linux/init/main.c. It
calls initialization functions for devices and file sys-
tems configured into the kernel and then mounts the root
file system.
No user process may call setup. Any user process, even a
process with super-user permission, will receive EPERM.
So why the heck does it get called by gcc or Quake 2?!
