All of the files it asks the reporter to include are o+r... I can whip up a bug_report script to walk the user though all of the steps in REPORTING-BUGS, if the list isn't averse to 'dumbing down' the process to the point where maybe some people who shouldn't be submiting bugs (two words: 'user error') end up not being scared off by the process. Is perl allowed for kernel scripts intended for users, or am I stuck with sh? -- Jeremy M.
