you lost me SCSI subsystem, you mean like firmware drivers? and cryptopgraphy system? no idea. but sounds very interesting, I appreciate your time. Also if I install all that stuff in my system. Shouldn't I then make sure to uninstall it all, or at least disable all those compilers I installed for security reasons? We might need a guide on how to do that too. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
