So you want a "Do you want Qlogic drivers" question followed by the 6 drivers if Y? I'm less enthused about that. I know there's precedent for it in the net drivers, but I've always thought it caused more confusion than it removed. Traditionally, in SCSI, we've always presented every possible driver in our list. I thought the initial complaint you were trying to fix was the "why does this show up in my .config one"? James
