Do we still follow those unwritten rules? I just installed a HP
printer/scanner on a system with a fresh Fedora 9 preview install and
had to manually install the libsane-hpaio package to make the scanner
work. Is that intended behavior or would we consider this a bug?
Did you install from Live CD or a DVD?
Normal install using anaconda from install-DVD (x86-64)
I think that might be a clear
distinction to be made on that one, but it would probably be best to have those
drivers just get into the install by default.
+1
But.. the unwritten rule I think
is primarily for X, video, keyboards, input, etc, I don't think
printers/scanners/cameras are really included in that.
Well, most (all?) the other scanner drivers are available, so omitting
one/a few without a good reason (at least there isn't one afaics)
doesn't make much sense IMHO.
