    Hardware detection after hard-disk install

    Thanks for the boot-script execution problem resolution.

    I have one more question
    Is there a way to force the system to perform hadware detection
    at boot time after Knoppix-3.4 Cd has been installed to disk? (something
    like kudzu under Mandrake/Read-Hat)

    Not sure why you want to do this (unless you're popping on extra hardware post install) but kudzo and discover are both available as debian packages. Try:

    apt-get install kudzo

    or

    apt-get install discover

    I do change pieces of hardware quite often and hence a desire to be able to
    detect added/removed hardware pieces..
    apt-cache search kudzu
    does show a package but
    apt-get install kudzu
    says that it broken package. I found a knoppix version installed (kudzu-knoppix)
    dpkg -l | grep kudzu
    show it. The question is how to use it (no program or man page exists)?

    Dear Ish Rattan,
    Sorry but I am not "hardware detection" expert at all...

    You can try :
    kudzu --help
    as well as
    man kudzu

    Welll, let me rephrase it. If a piece fo hardware is removed or changed,
    how can one make the system remove/add the hardware changed? (kudzu
    is not an issue -- it is what I know from RH days) I am sure that debian
    has spme way to handle the problem.

    It has: kudzu!

    Works just fine on my 3.3 install.

    If you've no man page (try man kudzu) then it's likely that it isn't installed. If the kudzu you have installed is broken, you need to look at the apt-get how to on the HD section of this forum to find a way of removing broken packages. (It may be easier to do it through synaptic). Then do an apt-get update and try installing again.

    You might like to look at discover, too......
