I'm referring specifically to auto-detecting hardware. Not too long ago, if I plugged in my USB camera, for example, nothing would happen. Last night I was thrilled that performing this action resulted in a pop-up that said something like "Digital Camera Detected, would you like to import these photos?". If that had not occurred, I would have assumed that this kind of functionality still didn't exist for us in Fedora. Having something like this work goes a long way towards swaying people who assume that this kind of thing just doesn't work in linux. I would not equate this kind of thing with installing every possible package by default. By the way, what HAPPENED to the everything install option!!!! :-) > -- > fedora-devel-list mailing list > fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list -- Sam Folk-Williams, RHCE Red Hat Global Support Services Phone: 919/754-4558 GPG ID: 1B0D46BA
