Which feature? That you can add a driver into a running LiveCD system? I wonder how this can be supported by and under MS-Windows, when we take into account that no supported MS-Windows LiveCD product even exists. I suggest you to visit the docs section. It is not a problem that you are new. The problem is which "conclusions" you draw. Please do not take it personally. But objectively speaking, I'm a bit confused. > much broader support for devices that does Solaris/Open Solaris... Is > there an architectural reason why it could not be done? If you consider Wintel hardware_and_tightly_bound_software packages and Microsoft's dirty policies an "architectural" reason, then yes. Developing drivers is a complex and expensive task. Most hardware vendors only pay the money to have Windows drivers developed for their products, blame them. Plus of course Microsoft for their "practices" (Have a look at www.maxframe.com/DR/Info/fullstory/techtie.pdf and > http://www.maxframe.com/DR/Info/ .) %martin _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
