I have been using Linux since 1993. I installed the first version of Slackware on a 16MB 386sx-25. Since then I have been using it almost exclusively on one or more of my PCs. So I consider myself as a bit of an expert. I have been using computers since 1982 mostly PCs, but also VAX mainframes and SPARC systems. Operating systems (and GUIs) I have been using include CP/M, DOS, Windows from Version 2 to XP, Geos, Beos, SCO Unix, Solaris, OS/2 and quite a few Linux Distros.

People did not know how to set up their winmodem and flash, java etc. I think all these should be integrated in download edition too (see winmodems and graphic drivers). You cannot tell the user that they are not GPL so we cannot ship them in download edition. People just don't care.
What a silly comment.
Mandrake is leaving out those drivers for the simple reason that their licenses don't allow Mandrake to distribute them.
Do you expect Mandrake to break those licenses? Or to pay for the winmodem drivers so you can download them for free??
