Alan, I knew of the Dell article, as I have all of those saved for reference. [1] I was just wondering if you knew of any that were for someone knew to Linux. You know the Microsoft type tutorials that have screenshot with them. That's the question I get asked a lot of times from around my home area. In turn when these users that are new to Linux they get discouraged when they can't visualy see pictures or have to edit some text file. They just use to doing things the M$ Way. CentOS could have a much broader user base (Huge), the biggest user base around if simple things like this could be done. i realize though it take volunteers to do this on the wiki. [1] DKMS was originally meant for updating Dells server hardware (drivers) see: http://linux.dell.com/dkms/dkms-ols2004.pdf and Sys Admins, but has come further than that. Install DKMS. Install driver, hope like hell it works on kernel update On 03/04/2008, John <jses27 at gmail.com> wrote: > > Anyone on the List know of a good DKMS tutorial besides the one at > linux.dell.com?
