Those drivers on the CD drivers are often already outdated, so that's
a good use.

That was my point. You don't need the CD.
I know, but maybe the linux guy didn't.
I'm almost laughing - almost - thinking about how those driver
diskettes and CD's used to be treated like precious jewels.

I still have a few around for the oddball drivers they contain.
Sometimes you can find more up to date ones around, and sometimes you
can't. HP sadly is now NOT putting all the drivers its desktop computers
use up on its web pages, and the only way you can fix a bad driver is to
do a system restore. Thus, my friend with the HP machine...we went
driver shopping on a driver website and made up a driver CD for him.
