Hi, my question was not answered :-( , I try to use your thread :-)
The question was: Were is the lirc package? The only (my) answer was: .... I forgot the Kernel modules ... LIRC builds modules for the running Kernel, I see my 'unsupported' Plustek parport scanner also needs misc modules. I build the modules after each kernel update. The 'package request' was: How about an kernel-modules-misc package with some additional modules? (to make me [and other mdk friends] happy ;-) My oppinion: Providing these packages would improve MDKs (and the penguins) multimedia acceptance - outside the distribution! Another question: Where is the best place for submitting wishes/feature requests? Stefan. (I hope you understand my sometimes broken english)
