Hey, Jesus - buy a spelling checker. Such elementary errors cause you
to appear foolish an uneducated (DON'T say it everybody, it would be
shooting waterfowl in an enclosed container).
Terry can the closest to a real answer, but
still let out a few things.
Get a grammar checker too, while you're at the store, or possibly just
a book to copy sentence structure out of.
To be plain and truthful, I don't think the
partition editor had that much to do with it,
So why did you bring it up?
What will FreeBSD do?
That depends, if they continue to be ignorant
(and I'm not including everyone in this statement)
they will also draw a nice following,,,,
circa Netbsd style.....
Jesus, what are you talking about? Do you mean to imply by this that
one of us should embark on an African safari in search of this
mythical tool of yours, or that any failure to do so on our part would
imply some degree of ignorance? I'm especially puzzled by your assertion
that ignorance could be some sort of attraction ("if they continue to be
ignorant [...] they will also draw a nice following,,,[sic]"). If that's
true, then many of us have terrific careers in politics ahead of us.
In any case, if there's something truly useful we're missing out on,
by all means download it to freebsd.cdrom.com:~ftp/incoming and tell
us! That would be the _USEFUL_ thing to do!
Open mouth insert foot.... that's my two cents.
G'wan! I'm sure you can get both of them in there! :-)
