No need to.
It works fine with PCLinuxOS v.93a
You might want to help the people in alt.os.linux.suse though because I
couldn't make it work with Suse 10.1.

Well.. according to you, if it doesn't work in Suse 10.1, it doesn't work
in Linux.

Highly doubtful.
OOL gets a good check every month and compared to the child molesters,
porn addicts, etc that they receive complaints about, flatfish is a minor
item.
Besides, the items are on topic.
Good luck..........

You do realise you are openly advocating physical violence and
mutilation?
You do realise that this is not amusing? That it crosses unwritten
lines and boundaries?
Possibly you would like to extend on who "we" is? Do you have a gang
which tracks people down and does them physical mischief?
I think an apology is in order.

I wouldn't like to see him lose his cushy role as a fresher fluffer /

take". I see no reason to bring it into the real world : especially where
threats of physical violence are concerned.

Fresher fluffers are always in demand.
As for physical violence is concerned obviously that is for lamers.
I don't even agree with reporting Roy, but evidently he has pissed off a
good number of people, much like Peter Kohlmann did when he got his
account suspended.
My feeling is free speech, minus threats, is all fine and good.
I really don't care at all.
To me, Roy is a joke, a gaff, a jester whom I am able to pull strings with.

This is useful information.
One of the things I have noticed about the TRUE Flatfish postings is
that he provides real, specific information, related to exact hardware
and exact versions of software.
as opposed to the peculiar person who uses 98 pseudonyms to post
complaints about unspecified versions of Linux with little or no
information about the hardware being used, describes his/her 8-10 hours
of futile efforts, downloading from an unspecified site, refusing to
get help from anyone who knows anything about Linux (like a support
line, e-mail, or just someone who has actually USED Linux), and then
pronounces Linux "unfit for human consumption" based on his "expert
opinion".
Flatfish has used Linux, including a number of different versions, and
on hardware that was never meant to run Linux (in fact, he has created
systems consisting entirely of hardware that is documented as
unsupported).
The good news is that the Linux community often rises to the challenge,
quickly coming up with drivers, or configurations for existing drivers,
or patches for existing drivers, to support the "unsupported" new
hardware.
Flatfish, thanks for your contributions to the Linux desktop
environment.
No developer likes the tester who hammers his code with rediculous
negative tests that the developer would never think of, but that's what
makes a system reliable and supportable.

Running "Linux" on "a pc" is hardly hammering the code. It should "just work".

Excuse me? What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander : and if
Roytoy wants to make statements about other people making "ad hominem
attacks" then he should behave accordingly. If you live by the sword

ELF is the first rock group that Ronnie James Dio performed with back in
the early 1970's. In constrast, a.out is a misspelling of the French word
for the month of August. What the two have in common is beyond me, but
Linux users seem to use the two words together.

Do you understand the difference between simple name-calling, and ad
