I wouldn't really have expected to use kdiff3 to compare binary files. It wouldn't be useful even if it didn't crash. What would you expect it to do that you couldn't do with a non-gui tool such as cmp? how would anybody know what anything does with the state of documentation the way it is! I would never complain but since you asked! I thought kdiff3 was a gui version of diff that as I stated worked! Everybody lives in their own little world where everybody is familiar with a few things and the rest of the world must presume! Making "good" presumptions is the way successful Linux users are successful! Take k3b! Reading/writing CDs/DVDs is a career unto itself! I was lucky (?) to have produced 4 working F9 installations DVDs. No wonder many neophytes give up and return to Bill! Turns out (see other bugs) there is no way to verify the install DVD is correct! Why? Burning the ISO image with verify always gets an error! I did make 4 install DVDs and using kdiff3 compared all 4. Unlikely all 4 are bad! I am surprised there is any controversy about why anybody would maintain a dual boot system! I don't like MS! |
