Yes, but that's one port, not 32, is it?
Many years ago, I used to work on mini-computers that had hundreds of ports. This is the environment that Unix was created in.
James, I'm the last one that wants to get rid of serial ports. We (at work) depend a lot on them. Still, creating 32 device files for millions of users where only a handfull has actually more than one or two installed is somewhat bloated IMHO. I expect you create more support traffic from users not knowing what their proper serial port is (cf. my wine example) than from people complaining only 8 (or 4) of their ports work without adding a kernel parameter ;^> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
