The only way new users would be prompted for new hardware is because the main user has turned off suseplugger, and there is new hardware that has not been installed, since there is only one hardware installation cache, /var/lib/hardware/unique-keys. If all hardware is installed, new users won't be prompted, AFAIK.
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. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
