When you provide a driver disk during installation, the installer copies the driver on to the installed system (provided the disk provides a driver for the installed kernel, which might be an SMP kernel) so that it can boot. So that shouldn't be a problem, though you'll need to make sure the driver gets built or is installed for any subsequent kernel updates. Paul. -- Paul Howarth <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
