Such an option would be nice, however, so a bugzilla RFE > may be in order... You may be correct in your analysis, though I too would like to see it work the way we have explained. Either way, I have filed an RFE on it: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=152274 Hopefully my rambling is intelligible :). I guess we'll see now what RedHat has to say about it. Jonathan PS: John, It seems that I did not get your two other replies. I see them now in the archives, strange. Brian's second message tipped me off, thanks Brian :). Anyway, I hope you didn't take offense at my reply. kudzu runs on start-up for me, and my problem was with removing devices, so your quick-fix didn't seem to apply. You seem to say a similar thing in your "afterthoughts" reply. Also, I was looking more for answers to put in a bugzilla entry. It's really not that hard, and hopefully it does some good :). I know I can just issue a "chkconfig kudzu off" and be done with it. Thanks for your replies.
