The root user had never logged in, as root, I think. In any case, when I 
did log in as root a few days ago, I was told that "new hardware was 
found", namely, the ethernet card that has been working for years, and 
continues to be installed and working. So I told it to go away. 

I just want it to shut up for ever: if I want to mantain hardware, I'm 
clever enough to fire up yast. And yast says nothing about new hardware, 
it is happy and content.


What do you sugest, that I start as root again, say ok to new hardaware 
found, "a la windows", allow it to proceed and perhaps break something 
that is already working? Can't just I say, good doggy, now be good and 
shut up?

I don't understand.
