[Mono-list] Registering the MonoRuntime with Kernel

[Gaurav Vaish]

Hmm... thanks Chris for the insight.
Kernel was always big for me, and I still the pointers in C!!  :-)

However, just wondering that something like would be useful to novice
in kernel like me --
     mono --register

and it will update the kernel magic-file!


Happy Hacking,
