Disable check for new hardware

[kyroha]

I just found out how to disable the check for new hardware on startup in Fedora Core 1 (I assume this would work in all RedHat distros) just log into a CLI as root and type

chkconfig kudzu off

Makes bootup a lot faster as it no longer wastes time by checking for new hardware, if you do add new hardware you can always type

chkconfig kudzu on

to re enable it.

BTW I was tempted to post a question asking how to do this, but 5 minutes with google/linux yielded the answer. :)

The ntsysv command also works.

Thank's that is really cool, I wish I had know that before

Just to add to what you have posted...

Other distros that do not use kudzu may have a different startup script that does hardware scanning on boot. SuSE has

/etc/init.d/hwscan

System startup script for boot hw probing and reconfiguration
