At which point you are at the mercy of the provider of the CDROM. This is probably not what people want to happen. Requiring an extra CD is overall something that's not nice. Linux supports more hardware out of the box than any operating system in the world, and I'd like to see it only improve in that regard. > about it.

I believe it's standard practice that the person/persons changing the interface are also responsible for changing the drivers to use the new interface. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
