    Driver CD

    I just booted my Kubuntu 7.04 Live CD a couple of mins ago and seen an option about a driver CD. I think it was something like "Install from Driver CD"

    what does this option do?

        I know the option you're talking about and the link I gave you explains exactly what it's for.

          So computer manufacturers can make disks for Linux to be used with this option?

            Yes, they can. And it's really geared at both computer and hardware manufacturers as well. It's one way of inviting them over to develop drivers for Linux.

                You should also check my reply. By the way, I'm running Linux on an ACER Aspire Desktop PC. Yes, they don't support Linux but that doesn't mean the hardware won't work with Linux.

                  Which is a better question to ask

                  "Which hardware works with Kubuntu"

                  OR

                  "Which hardware DOESNT work with Kubuntu"
