And what if you're unlucky enough to run out of space in /tmp at just the wrong moment -- or what if someone malicious knows about this? Some script kiddies might think it's cool to make the sysadmin install a broken kernel. I hope you have convenient and reliable console access to that server. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
