Since kudzu has no serious documentation whatsoever, it's quite hard to find out what devices it can actually detect. The README file says: 2) What type of devices does kudzu detect? Currently, kudzu detects: - PCI cards - SBUS cards - serial devices (PnP devices, mice, modems) - parallel port devices (printers) - SCSI devices (provided the appropriate SCSI modules are loaded) - IDE devices - PS/2 mice - Keyboards on SPARC So that's not very helpfull either. Based on the little that I've seen of libdetect, it's probably a more robust tool. > We're using libdetect at the moment on debian-installer, I had thought that > kudzu was dead, but I guess not.

Is there already policy on how this hardware detection should be implemented? -- Kind regards, +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | Bas Zoetekouw | Si l'on sait exactement ce | |--------------------------------| que l'on va faire, a quoi | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | bon le faire? | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Pablo Picasso | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
