He wrote that one `simply can't do anything with that kernel unless you add something to it.' glibc does something with the kernel, without requiring anything else to be added.

Therefor his statement is false. -- Robert Uhl <ruhl@4dv.net> The power of Satan is as nothing before the might of the Lord, so don't go getting any ideas. --I Abyssinians 20:20
