I think the way this kind of thing should work in general is that the system detects if you have the hardware, and dynamically installs support for it. We'd need some database mapping things like USB ids to packages. Networking is an exception; we should include as many drivers/tools for networking-related functionality as possible so that the system can be bootstrapped. Basically: if you have a GPS chip, gypsy gets installed and runs. If you don't, it doesn't. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
