Kudzu was made by Red Hat a long time ago. It's usually one of the first things I disable. :) Maybe it's much better now, but years ago it was terrible. Then again, my hardware doesn't change at all. You can definitely find it on Red Hat and Fedora dists. http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/additional-projects/kudzu/ -- Robert Dale -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/
