Of course, you understand the "friction" right? This is *DEBIAN* after all. And the nVidia Binary blob being one of the worst offenders, where as many just do the firmware blob... no nVidia has to do the whole fricking set of libraries and module. Of course, you could have politely asked them to re-assign the ticket to the nVidia kernel source maintainer being Randall Donald. -- greg, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Novell's Directory Services is a competitive product to Microsoft's Active Directory in much the same way that the Saturn V is a competitive product to those dinky little model rockets that kids light off down at the playfield. -- Thane Walkup
