Thanks for the reply but building my own Live CD distro is not a very elegant solution. Surely a more practical approach would enable drivers to be added during the boot process either by automatically scanning USB drives or a second DVD drive if present.
This would allow a Live CD to recognise newer hardware just by using the latest drivers stored in a USB or DVD/CD. Manufacturers could then be asked to supply drivers for inclusion on the driver DVD/CD. A user copies the driver DVD/CD to disk, add additional drivers that were supplied with their hardware and write a new driver DVD/CD specifically for their computer which could be used in future versions of Live CD. On the the case of a USB drive, just copy the manufacturers drive to the USB drive. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
