Re: Antwort: Rebooting is foolish ....
Hi Cam,
That really sounds like it could be fun! Just thinking here, how to pull
off that ... How about using an 'at'command. give yourself 2 minutes to
change the kb, at will restart gpm then do it again 2 minutes later so
you can see if new stuff works, and if it doesn't gives you time to plug
in your current stuff ... :) Linux rulez!
