If you want to do this research, that would be lovely of course but for now its better to provide at least some close approximation to the actual requirement than not providing any. -- Regards, Zeeshan Ali (Khattak) FSF member#5124 _______________________________________________ Libosinfo mailing list Libosinfo@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libosinfo
