In Ubuntu, Automatix/EasyUbuntu can be used to install a range of things which are not normally available in the distribution. If I use one of these scripts to install something which interfaces with the kernel, what happens when I receive a kernel update and reboot? For example, if I use them to install Nvidia graphics drivers, will X be wrecked after the kernel is upgraded?
I am not so worried about my own systems (I can take care of myself), but I am concerned for the ordinary users for whom I have installed Ubuntu. I don't want them all calling me every time there is a kernel update to complain that they can't get graphics. -- Sridhar Dhanapalan [Yama | http://www.pclinuxonline.com/] {GnuPG/OpenPGP: http://dhanapalan.webhop.net/yama.asc 0x049D38B4 : A7A9 8A02 78CB AB1B FCE4 EEC6 2DD9 249B 049D 38B4} The US government actually has a 'terror scale'... a formal measure of how scared to be. Sounds to me like the terrorists won.
