I don't really see this a real security feature of windows but more a control feature of Microsoft as they have made it impossible for free drivers to be signed. So not very much motivated to do a lot of rework to accommodate configurability here." I'm not going to make it configurable unless you can suggest a solution for the problem mentioned in the first para. -- Regards, Zeeshan Ali (Khattak) FSF member#5124 _______________________________________________ Libosinfo mailing list Libosinfo@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libosinfo
