NAME

Kudzu-detects and configures new and/or changed hardware on a system

SYNOPSIS

Kudzu

DESCRIPTION

Kudzu detects and configures new and/or changed hardware on a system.

When started, kudzu detects the current hardware, and checks it against

A database stored in/etc/sysconfig/hwconf, if one exists. It then

Determines if any hardware has been added or removed from the system.

If so, it gives the users the opportunity to configure any added hard-

Ware, and unconfigure any removed hardware. It then updates

Database in/etc/sysconfig/hwconf.

If no previous database exists, kudzu attempts to determine what

Devices have already been configured, by looking at/etc/modules. conf,

/Etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/, and/etc/X11/XF86Config.

The following is an example of the command output:
