This is one argument and I think too that for one timers like building one modul (like nvidia, but also others) and then forget about it, it is overkill. If somebody can prove that it can't be done easily, there would be too the possibility of let one obsolete the other or conflicting. But if it can be done it would be worth it. -- Regards Steffen ____________________ counter.li.org : #296567. machine: 181800 vdr-box : 87 ____________________ Please dont CC me, since if I have replied I'll watch the tread.
