We're getting more and more questions about these devices that we wouldn't be getting if we had them compiled in by default. The really imporant ones are marked with a '*' below device ucom # * device umodem # * device umct device uark device ubsa device ubser device uftdi # * device uplcom # * device uvisor device uvscom the cost isn's so much, and we can filter them out from the installation kernel if size is an issue. Comments? Warner
