Good day Basil,

Would someone please remind me which control file, and where it
resides, that needs to be massaged to stop the hardware scan on
boot.
---- <text deleted> ---
I remember someone asking on how to stop the hwscan on boot, because it
was slowing down the boot and also because there is no need for it
'cause no hardware changes occur on his system, and was given the
control file to alter. I thought I saved that message but I hadn't.

I think you are referring to the following post:

(I had saved this one -- whereas with a little googling
I found one from October, 2002,
which gave essentially the "insserv" method
Andreas Winkelmann outlined.)
I didn't check Togan's FAQ, but I wouldn't
be surprized it is there too.
I would be slow to remove the scripts --
but removing it via run level editor still allows you
to do a hardware scan via command line:
"["root"]# yast2 --hwscan"
it you later find it necessary.
Friendly greetings,
