All this on-the-fly hardware detection became only possible because of the excellent work done by Klaus Knopper and LinuxTag team. They are working extensively with the users and do required work to make hardware setup really working. Unfortunately, most of those autosetup is DWIW software. It does work with dirty tricks, but those tricks are the only way to make dirty broken hardware work. I suggested to use the files generated by Knoppix' tools as the default X config since it provides the most reliable auto-configuration I have ever seen, though Branden insisted on using his/Progeny's libdetect stuff. Dreaming a bit more, I would prefer having a small Knoppix as the installation system instead of D-I or PGI. Gruss/Regards, Eduard. -- Linux braucht kein Mensch, aber Mensch braucht Linux!
