<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=150045505-30032000>I have an idea which
some of you might not like, but would make linux heaps easier to use. Could the
developers design a new system of device driver installation. The current method
is much to hard for the average computer user. It would be much easier if you
had a system whereby you download a binary executable for the device you wish to
install on your PC. When you run it it would automatically install the driver,
with no configuration necessary. It could ask for IRQ or IO, but you shouldn't
have to go through config files to do this.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

on how this stuff could be done, but I'm not an expert kernel hacker, so
someone&nbsp;else would have to do it. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
