I like pencil

I bought a new pencil today. Lost the last one so
I have no choise. Also I install slackware 13
(long time ago) at a flash drive and yesterday I
build a boot cd for it based on slackware 13 disk 1
cd. I mix the initrd of flash drive installation
with the slack cd, keeping only the kernels and
isolinux directories on new cd. The final iso gets
only 16mb and with root=/dev/disk parameters can boot a
lot stuff. :-)

I want the POSIX guide book :-P

I want this

Linked list API

Well, working on a general linked list API.
... note: I guess this will be never released, because I'm so lazzyyy! :-(

(Math, Math², Math³)
