Re: anomit, India, Ubuntu 6.10 kernel 2.6.17-10-generic

[Jacques Goldberg <Jacques.Goldberg@xxxxxxx>]

Antonio,
When you write "stalling a key", do you mean
"installing a key" or "stealing a key"?

An other remark is to ask you and Anomit to pay attention that there is 
an automatic installer for Anomit's distribution and kernel, so that the 
long installation procedure described in the mail which you quote is a 
useless burden, while the solution described there is for a problem 
which is highly unlikely to occur, in particular with automatic installers.
