Modems are still used for faxing (yeah apparently that is still being used to) and some phone handling.
Canonical needs to fit Ubuntu on to a single cd for several reasons, so 150MB is a huge 20% of the total budget.

Why do you need to install VirtualBox guest additions?
Why doesn't it "just work" out-of-the-box?

It would make it easier on novices.
However, I think we need to move away from proprietary drivers.
We need to continue pushing and moving toward blob-free.

Originally posted by Kano View PostBasically it is possible to detect switched gfx cards even on a hd install and configure binary drivers on the fly. Thats possible with debian wheezy and should work with ubuntu as well. it is a bit tricky to show that on Linuxtag as i dont want to transport a desktop system but expect a Kanotix release with that feature or just the package needed in that timeframe. I dont get why U does not preinstall the drivers and just switch em...
Originally posted by Hirager View PostRemember Canonical's paranoid policy of rolling as small ISOs as possible.
I always end up downloading a lot of extra packages after the install so at one point I just started to use Remastersys to make a DVD ISO with all the software I would need to download anyway after installing.
From the article:
Among the mentioned hardware was for now bundling scanner firmware, support for ndiswrapper (what allows using Windows networking drivers on Linux), Brother Printer drivers, LinuxAnt dial-up model drivers, and more.
