Of course, the details I would like to know probably don't belong in that particular document. Specifically, my question would be "Why are the non-gpl'd kernel modules not supported in the release kernels?" and "Is there a semi-simple work-around available?" Since my video cards are NVidea based, I'll wait until I can use the non-gpl'd modules before investigating FC5 for my own use. I suspect that such details may be found over on the developement list, and I may get enough ambition to go look for myself. OTOH, if somebody has a summary or a direct pointer, I sure would be obliged. -- ============================================= If you think Education is expensive Try Ignorance Author Unknown ============================================
