kudzu detects and configures new and/or changed hardware
on a system. When started, kudzu detects the current
hardware, and checks it against a database stored in
/etc/sysconfig/hwconf, if one exists. It then determines
if any hardware has been added or removed from the system.
If so, it gives the users the opportunity to configure any
added hardware, and unconfigure any removed hardware. It
then updates the database in /etc/sysconfig/hwconf.
If no previous database exists, kudzu attempts to deter
mine what devices have already been configured, by looking
at /etc/conf.modules, /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/, and
/etc/X11/XF86Config.
It is installed from the kudzu-0.36-2 rpm on a 6.2 system. It is
normaly part of the stock RedHat install. I think it was part of 6.0,
but it was not part of the 5.x distribution.
