Like mentioned in my description I have the INF file from LG. I downloaded it from LG's website to a usb stick.
This is new to me.
So do I need to burn on a CD?
Yes. Put the .inf file in a subdirectory called "drivers".
Current PC models have no floppy drive anymore.
Why is it not possible to select the file manually? Then it could be located everywhere.
This would be a feature request, not a bug report. Currently we only support inf files located on a floppy or CD. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
