The effect of this option at the moment is to run 'jockey-text -a' (which should indeed enable the Broadcom driver if necessary and possible, I believe - though test this!), and to install ubuntu-restricted-addons if you're using the GTK installer frontend or kubuntu-restricted-extras if you're using the KDE installer frontend. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@ubuntu.com] -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
