Is there somewhere on the Novell/SuSE site which covers the legal side of why some things are not being included in the latest version? AFAIK Nvidia modules are not GPL but are vital for 3D performance. I would like to understand why making it easier for users is a legal problem.
Thanks, Terry
I would agree with this..... I have *never* considered or had a reason to leave SuSE until now. I see no easy solution to the Thinkpad modem problem which worked fine on 9.3 and apparently on 10.0 but now doesn't work at all. I will remain with 9.3 until I find another distro. Sad but true.
