Laptops include many specific needs such as power management and syspend to RAM/Disk which aren't necessarily "driver" related. And perhaps this will not sit well with the SPARC laptop community which I think should probably be included (even though the SPARC laptops generally come with all the drivers they need) Casper _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
