Hi all !
Since we have made a deal with MS about patents, I would like to ask
include MS-patented Windows Media Codecs (WMA/WMV) with both openSUSE
10.2 and future SUSE versions... (including Enterprise). The code
exists (on packman sites - the only problem was patents, which is
solved now).
ok, so on clients without Hard Disk:
you must download both U R packages (on each boot) right?
on clients with Hard Disk:
you must download only R packages right (on each boot), and U are
preinstalled (one time) ?
Is this correct?
What do others think of this idea?
rumors say that you need NTFS-3G drivers.
