Not everybody has as easy of a setup as you do. Some of our systems require recompiled driver modules, ATI driver rebuilds (which are a bit more difficult), software rebuilds, oh and lets not forget the users who delete their nvidia installer as soon as they've used it once, so it's not there anymore, they hit "yes" on the configure X so they lose the "nvidia" setting in XF86Config, oh and they have thought it necessary to remove just about any method of downloading files from the CLI. -- Jesse Keating RHCE MCSE http://geek.j2solutions.net Mondo DevTeam (http://www.microwerks.net/~hugo/) Was I helpful?
