Split directories make it impossible to search for something in your browser (in fact, I see Fernando is complaining about that in another message). This is particularly annoying when the first char fails to keep together related pieces: compat-readline libreadline readline mingw32-readline perl-Term-Readline-Gnu (yes, I hate 10-messages/page forums too :-) ) (I usually set them to show 500 messages, then they store the pref in a cookie, than I find something on Google, it goes to page=3 and the message Google has seen is not on the page I'm seeing! arghhhh ) Regards. -- Roberto Ragusa mail at robertoragusa.it -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
