Hmm. I still don't see a bug report on flyspray. By the way. The process you just listed out is what is commonly known as 'user feedback'. Zhukov Pavel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Don't be a troll. Everyone on this list can create exemples > Fill a bug report and the package will be updated

You will have to download the files (or the tarball, whichever you prefer) into a directory of your choice and then run makepkg. The unsupported packages are not in the community repo. As for an abs-like repository, I think I saw a script in the forum do something like that. I can't find the threa

I agree, it would be a nice thing to have all the drivers on the install cd configured to be used, since as the OP said, some people have different hardware(unless, of course, this would increase the size of the kernel too much, though it is on the cd and not the floppy images that is being aske
