So a user can *install* and not have to worry about setting up devices. You don't need a soundcard to do an install. Once you've done the installation you can build a kernel which supports your soundcard. If it's causing problems on installs maybe it should be disabled by default, even if it is built into the kernel. --Ben To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
