The binary drivers require a configured kernel, so they need to be built |
| 10 |
in livecd-stage2. |

Also, if you plan on giving this CD to *anyone* at all, you cannot use |
| 13 |
the binary drivers. It is against the law to distribute the binary |
| 14 |
drivers in a compiled form, since they violate the GPL and thereby |
| 15 |
copyright on the Linux kernel. |
