And that's the one you need to use to get DRM if your machine isn't i686 class - even if it is NOT an SMP machine. Does this suck? YES Are people going to be able to randomly guess this? NO Why didn't we ship a UP kernel for i586? - CD space I think, which shouldn't have been an issue considering disk 3 is partially blank. Do I wish all the kernels we ship had working DRM? YES The place to file bug reports is bugzilla though. Voice your opinions, and let it be known what kernel you require, and that you need DRM in it. The multitudes shall prevail! ;O) -- Mike A.
