Maybe - and even in those cases we can still embedd those scripts in the binary itself (i.e. we can add a mechanism to embedd it as a string and execute it from there). It's not like people are going to edit an installed script in a bin/ or libexec/ path. Same goes for any .xml file should we grow a GUI - etc. Ingo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
