If you refer to the original post, and the side thread "Mistating the problems w/ 8.0" You will see its not RH I am disapointed in, or 8.0. I had made a suggestion for RH to include some software on a seperated CD from the main distro, software in my eyes will make the RH distro much better. The software I asked for consideration was, Novell NDS JAVA TOMCAT and some more wireless NIC drivers specifically prism2_cs and the prism2 driver which are under the MPL and by the most strict interpretation of the GPL, you can not distribute software that is NON-GPL on the same media as GPL software. This is why I suggested a seperate OPTIONAL CD. The above comments that I made were in response to a post that I feel was un-called for by a RH employee comparing my post to a root canal. -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
