right, multi driver instance implies multi lircd daemon (1 per driver...) http://lirc.org/html/configure.html#multiple > The daemon needs to be runned by the root user, we can't really cope > with that.

Are there any other mandatory things on the elisa side? the complete config and installation GUIs will come later on. Still for the Gutsy release, we'll manage many things inside the UMC repository...
