Of course it applies — interaction of "make modules_install" with emerging linux-firmware can result in collisions. And before you write yet another dismissive email — yes, I know that for users not using savedconfig there will most likely be no collisions due to kernel's modules_install overwriting existing files. > 2.) Fun fact but I don't see how that make much difference to anyone or > this thread. It is relevant in the sense that it is not straightforward to prevent the kernel from installing firmware in /lib/firmware, which might result in collisions. -- Maxim Kammerer Liberté Linux: http://dee.su/liberte
