What is the point of running a true UNIX system, which supports dynamically loadable modules, if one must reboot just to load the driver non-interactively? Rebooting is something I know in the Windows world. On UNIX, drivers are loaded dynamically, because the operating system is perfectly capable of it. Not providing for dynamic driver loading and forcing either a reboot or manual intervention is defeating one of the major reasons for choosing UNIX over alternatives like Windows. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
