[Paula J Frazer-Campbell]

Hi

When running :-

cat /usr/conf/master.d/core-hpux
on a 11.00 machine

I came accross Pepsi and Coke in the Driver install table !!!!!


What , who , how ,where and when are these settings.

These were/are codenames associated with specific chips and the drivers they use.

Personally, i am waiting for someone to use the gin&tonic codename :-]

Hi and Thanks Melvyn,

Does HP get a commission from Pepsi and Coke to leave these names in the system config?

Perhaps if I called my scripts names like FORD, VOLKSWAGON and NISSAN then I could apply for sponsorship!!!

Whopping...

I hope next relase will not include visa and PIN parameters.

If you just had asked this yesterday ....

I would have directed you to a note stating that HP was forced by a law suit to replace some servers by older models because they had broken some copyrights and trademarks.
