Hypothetical question - when a new user installs Haiku, they still dont
know if their system will require hda or OSS. Haiku package builders
will obviously include the default driver (hda). However, if the user
needs to install OSS, then the installation routine needs to remove the
system driver. This just doesn't sound kosher. AFAIK, there are no
other scenarios in Haiku where this conflict exists (between a user
driver and a system driver). Shouldn't the kernel when scanning for
drivers reject a system driver when it finds a usable user installed driver?
By the selection of which directories are scanned first (path looks at
user stuff first, then /boot/common, then /bin) this sounds right. I
believe Franc,ois was looking into making OSS not conflict with other
drivers anyhow.
