From 9841d61d75da5e46ed7a978bed4f50c78b1d87fd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Jones Date: Sun, 8 Jan 2006 01:03:41 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Add tainting for proprietary helper modules Kernels that have had Windows drivers loaded into them are undebuggable. I've wasted a number of hours chasing bugs filed in Fedora bugzilla only to find out much later that the user had used such 'helpers', and their problems were unreproducable without them loaded.
