Over the past year the problem of the Millenium Bug and Y2K compliance
has been very much in evidence. With tales of mass destruction and
total anarchy on the horizon I decided to investigate the best method of
tackling this problem for muLinux. I have tried various methods, but
can definately recommend the following method.
I discovered, quite by chance, that creating special device
/dev/alchohol and symlinking to /dev/brain, in a short space of time
removes all worries about these problems. Over the past 12 months I
have done extensive research in the local hostelries in this area
(purely in the interests of science you understand) and have found
that this method is 100% successfull.
This method can be universally applied to all methods of bug removal,
in fact it was very successfull in removing the dreaded
"mother-in-law at Christmas" bug in the past week.
However, be warned, there can be some supprising after effects of
this method. After an extensive testing session the night before, I
discovered that when trying to mount /dev/wife that I got an
unexpected end of file due to possible corruption and I was unable to
boot up. The problem appears to be that /dev/wife is now hardlinked
to /dev/zero and all console commands are ignored. As yet I have been
unable to solve this problem.
