Jean-Pierre,
1. Set -Bacpi-user-options=0x0 (or 0x2) during Grub boot.
2. Use a known good Wi-fi USB stick or daughtercard for WEP.
3. Use VESA for most display things.
For the most part, most oi-devs should have working hardware with OI (or speak
up, if not).

I wrote a list, but then thought again, there's no point arguing that
anymore. If people using it are happy with it, good for them,

That touches a nerve. Back then, it was not called 0.1. It was called
1.0, and requests for a file format were met with derision, who would
ever need that? It was certainly not part of the plan.
It took years just to make the devs admit it was needed, and then some
more to actually deliver it. I guess now it's good enough. Wonderful,
*finally* a round wheel!
Having been burnt there, I'd rather not see that history being rewritten
to make those disliking it with their good reasons look like fools.
Distrusting people who took half a decade to find that round was the
right shape makes sense.
