fine. no problem there. my point is that i suspect that people looking for a "don't detect hardware" checkbox might not think to find someplace to type "insserv -r hwscan" or, if they found such a place, to type that string.
Is that who's complaining, though? I get the impression that some of the people whining about the hardware scan act like power users. Couldn't a power user do a google search and find the answer? That's the irony. Blame SuSE for holding your hand too much, when the answer is pretty easy to find. http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=suse+hwscan+turn+off&btnG=Google+Search http://groups.google.com/groups?q=suse+hwscan+turn+off&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&selm=bxn%258.36303%24Yf1.1589314%40news010.worldonline.dk&rnum=1
i have no reason to doubt your statement that that command has been in use since 8.0. which makes it just fine for those who have used 8.x and have followed the discussions. however, if suse's target market is limited to that group, its userbase is likely to diminish, don't you think?
Huh? Preston
