Nope, you can but don't have to. " <url> should point either to a directory with the unpacked driver update or to a driver update archive. " " For easy testing the semantics has been extended a bit: if <url> does not point to a driverupdate but rather a normal filesystem image, cpio archive, or rpm, it is unpacked and the files are added to the install (or rescue) system. " So just put the RPM or tarball on some http-server and add something like this as boot parameter: DriverUpdate=http://foo/bar/mydriver.rpm Ciao, Daniel -- J.
