They DO have the option of putting their entire code base in the kernel tree like every other driver that is already there, but they have chosen not to. That's their choice and no-one forced them to do it. Now they have to live with that choice and stop whinging. Linux existed long before VMWare came along. It will likely still exist long after VMWare has gone away. -- Alan McKinnon [EMAIL PROTECTED]
