More than enough, imho. > Even 'current' hardware will be outdated soon... Maybe exactly this this the most important thing. Think about not supporting or fixing any kind of driver because the Hardware may be outdated soon.
Ever thought of ISA Plug&Play support in the Linux Kernel? Why it is still there? Haven't seen a board with ISA slots for a long time now - but - there are still people using the Linux Kernel on machines which offer isa slots and isa plug'n'pray :) I upset about myself not to have enough knowledge for developing kernel driver and/or TS/PES conversions. Maybe i have to improve this someday :) cu mws -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
