I've read that, and I've read comments here from people who say "it works/doesn't work for me." The fact that: - I've done a clean install, not an upgrade - all my hardware was recognized (except my aureal-based sound card) - the install apparently went perfectly (no explicit notifications of error) - "it all worked in 7.3" (the last refuge of a scoundrel, I know) - I've installed nothing from outside the CDs leads me to suspect that there are bugs, or at least protein-laden features. Or that there are necessary setup steps, post-install, that I'm not aware of (where necessary means "do this or you will crash"). -- Aaron aaron@justaaron.com aaron@acm.org
