- Support for accessing unpartitioned/non-LVM USB sticks (large floppy) greater than 2GB. To make life easier also. (Listed as Long Term Projects on AN Roadmap)
</quote>

As I said multiple times this issue is already solved with my USBMSD.ADD driver. I am using "large floppy" sticks of 16 GB in size and it works just fine. AN is just too ignorant or self centered to pick up the changes I did. I think they have to solve it themselves.

I already have noticed that, but was too lazy to test that.

I guess that's sooner a time problem. I don't fully understand why so many parts of AN are closed source. Especially for the installer, the DDK problem doesn't apply. For USB, I don't support the second repository either. You should sooner discuss that internally.

I support Martin to make as much as possible available as OSS.

Andreas Schnellbacher:
My wishlist (for more then 6 months):
1. Drivers, as named before.
2. Extended associations (XWP): Make it more stable.
3. Improve the future Web browser situation.
4. Replace IBM installation programs and use a single package manager. (That would be a huge change.)
5. NLS: Ease the creation and installation of NLS versions by distributing them as update packages of the en_US version. (That requires many changes of the current code.)

Andi B.:
Personally I miss SNAP most in Martins driver list. Multi head and current Intel graphic support. Most probably Panorama can never handle this.

Lars:
As far as I remember Panorama requires VESA BIOS support.
For 2020, Intel announced the end of the legacy/conventional BIOS support.
From that time on there will only be "UEFI only" systems. As far as I understand that will also be the end of the VESA BIOS as we know it today. But correct me if I am wrong ...
