I would like for the nForce drivers, and the latest
Detonators to be included in the RH ISO so that I (and others) don't
have to manually update the drivers right after install. This will enable
OpenGL apps to work right after the OS is installed and the NIC to properly
work.
As it stands right now, I cannot use the bootnet.img and
install RH off an FTP on this nForce motherboard using it's intergrated NIC, and
after installing RH, Gnome/KDE fail to load because of the driver
issue.

install experience:
Sure you might think "Linux newbie", but keep thinking
that if you only want ~500 people in the entire world to run this
OS.
If RH could just be installed, then Quake3, and have it
"work" with no playing with drivers, I think a lot of the hardcore gamers would
switch over to Linux. The game loads much faster in Linux and the
networking code is superior in Linux compared to Win9x. Faster framerates
and lower ping time and more stable/consistent pings in Linux.
