spreco Hey there, just wondering if I may remove nvidia 470 glx driver modaliases and nvidia glx friver modaliases? I'm using a AMP APU and think I may not need them. Can someone explain the use of these two packages - I somehow don't want to crash my installation 🙂 Best regards
Harvey Any package with -modaliases in the name is used for hardware detection, determining which drivers are relevant for your system. While you should be able to remove them, you should leave them alone regardless of if you have nvidia hardware or not.
Staudey Also you shouldn't remove them because our "Hardware Drivers" utility ("doflicky") depends on them. Unless you never plan to ever use any hardware that might benefit from the utility, but even then you'd only save a couple hundred kilobytes.
