But it had minimal impact on bootup time. Actually when I re-enabled it and viewed the verbrose bootup process (rather than the GUI with the timer bar) I noticed that scanning for hardware changes takes very little time (a maybe a second). The performance gain isn't worth it, so I'll leave it enabled just to keep it simple in the event I add something down the road and forget how to renable kudzu. But it's a good command to know. Glad I found out about it. I've been picking away at a script that captures live data from a Linux system prior to shutting it down (for a post mortem forensic analysis of it). The output of this command with the --list option would be of value to capture. Thanks, Jacques B.+
