I'm not sure what you are talking about. I am referring specifically about when modconf is called during Debian installation. The new user may have no idea that he or she needs to insert the isa-pnp module to configure the PnP cards, before inserting the driver modules for the PnP cards. A friendly reminder on modconf's failure output would suffice. In my opinion, this is a bug because modconf, an "easy to use" frontend, is failing to inform the user of a step they may have forgotten to take if they are unfamiliar with the system. I posted this bug on behalf of a frustrated user who wasted many hours with an (unknown to him) unconfigured ISA PnP card. -- Ryan Underwood, <nemesis at icequake.net>, icq=10317253 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
