Re: To, be, posix, or, not, posix...?

[Meino.Cramer@...]

Hi Jorge,

thank you for pointing me to that software! :)

I cloned that onto my Arietta G25 (www.acmesystems.it) and will try
that. Currently I didn't find the docs for that (read "_I_ didnt find"
this is no implicit "there are no docs" ;).

Will whether it is possible to catch chance of sysfs files with that.

Best regards,
Meino
