I have to take a little exception to this one Mark. I have posted at least
two
different questions to this list with 0 responses. Now, they were somewhat
developer related but I did not recieve so much as "please post to debian-
developer" etc. Of course when every module has to be compiled or the
standard
answer is "recompile the kernel" then there is a fine line between developer
and user.
