Shouldn't that be "when" there are good drivers around....
There is not a pnp problem... Except from some vendors who do notdo the pnp part in the standard way.
Obviously the writer did have a PnP problem with Linux and the point is that Windows would "fix" the problem so that Linux driver would work.
I have noticed even some vendors, specifically RedHat, mention using Windows to determine resource usage and
Completely unuseful. They only help windows users to migrate in that way.
Hmm, I think you made the point that it is useful in that it does help "windows users migrate in that way" and some Linux distro's actually recommend it.
I had to use Windows to make sure everything was working and documented before I proceeded into the slightly broken but wondeful SuSE world of 7.2 Professional...
Maybe because you are not such an expert?
Never said I am "expert" ... is there such a thing a in the Linux world?
I do not need windows to see if a card is broken or not.
That wasn't the point; in the writers case on this and in mine, the "card" was not broken and one only has to be a member of this list to recognize the multiplicity of configuration issues that can occur with Linux, PnP and ISA. Clint
