Any way, lets say I change it somehow to a lower value; how will the operating
system treat files with longer names? What if I set it to 0? Will it ever boot
again?
On my system in KDE when I try to rename a file I have the following problem.
In the text box if the number of characters exceed a certain value (NAME_MAX?) I
am automatically logged off.
Do you face such a problem?
Try and put 2 dashes followed by one space as a sig separator, like this "-- "
(without quotes) 8-)
Thanks a lot.
