Yeah, I'd much appreciate it. I'll be sure to nitpick it after you're done :)

That's something I hadn't thought of. Put it in the the hald init script.
if [ ! -f /usr/share/pci.ids ]; then
# figure out what to do with pci.ids.gz if it exists
fi

HAL should catch up. There's already an addon distributed with HAL
(macbook-something) that uses libpci instead of the straight data rip
approach. What would be nice is if the pciutils people made it
realistic to use their library. Like actually installing it and the
headers. A shared version. A pkg-config file. I've writing upstream
for a while, but it's not high priority enough.
I could go either way on the book. I think whether we do ZLIB=no, just
have a note or add some functionality to the initscripts, people will
be able to figure it out.
