Actually, it's even worse than that. I'm doubting there is much hardware specific crap in it, and they support Linux-x86, so it IS a near-zero-effort (hell, all they'd have to do is ask, and I'm sure someone would be willing to compile it for them). > Proprietary sucks, let's wait the free plugin. The problem is that this is proprietary code written to display a proprietary and "marketing" driven product. There are incompatible changes from 4 to 5 to 6. That makes it hard to track. Push them to support it. Once they commit to doing it, it's easy. > Christophe > > On Wed, Oct 09, 2002 at 11:58:46AM -0700, Petro wrote: > > On Wed, Oct 09, 2002 at 08:20:05PM +0200, CK wrote: > > > I read: > > > > The web site is i386 only.
