Two more reasons: 1) I don't like seeing errors / misdetected hardware in kernel messages. Far too many times I've seen loading drivers for hardware that was never there. As for kernel, I want it to be clean and do its work for the exact hardware I use, 2) The may be some hardware I don't want / need supported, typically multimedia devices on servers. The less code runs, the smaller possibility something can go wrong in unexpected places. Just my USB 0.02. Vit -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
