You cygwin guys are just great! I've been subscribed to the list for
three years now and I get annoyed with the OT posts that other users
that point out. Some of the OT mails get responses that demonstrate the
meannness of the cygwin maintainers, and honelstly, I am entertained,
thinking that the OT poster must probably very annoyed at the responses,
which usually doesn't make him respond anymore.
Truth to tell, I was annoyed by cgf, Igor, and Dave's responses and
that was great since, for the first time, I experienced the meanness of
this list, which is nice and entertaining.
Cygwin people, you really are
M-E-A-N!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
... and entertaining :)
It's just 1.44 mb written on /dev/hda. I'll just be looking for the
partition maps at /proc/kcore or re-write some supreblocks...
