■If you choose Y,the Linux driver updates start and the drivers are updated.
After the update completes, the machine reboots.

the drivers, every time you start SunPCi, you will be asked to update the drivers.
■If you do not choose any button, the dialog box times out after a specified
amount of time, closes, and no update occurs. Youwill be asked to automatically
update your Linux drivers each time you open SunPCi.
