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?! --------------------------------------------------------------------- |Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software | |http://www.gsoft.com.au | |The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to| |choose from. -- Andrew Tanenbaum | --------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
