&gt;&gt;<i> DrakX/installer will work as it does not rely on hw specific drivers, as it

</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> The point of fixing stage2 is that when installer detects hw that needs

</I>&gt;&gt;<i> The problem with upcoming radeon hw, is that it wont work with

</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> I'm also looking into have the radeon driver refuse to load if it does

Yep. That is what the &quot;additional media&quot; mentioned above is all about.

I already have one created for test, but it didn't work properly for
alpha2 so I didn't push it.
I'll try to make it work for alpha3
