[Vectorlinux-devel] Hardware Config

[Tony B. <tb...@gm...>]

How much of vlsetup is still being used to configure the hardware and how
much of udev/hotplug are we now using?

I think we should concentrate on setting up udev to handle pretty much
everything vlsetup used to but it will be on the fly during boot.

Mandriva has setup some great scripts and rules for udev to take care of
most of the hardware so a hardware probe is not necessary anymore other tha=
n
for X setup.

Let me know your thoughts on this.  If we still want to keep vlsetup, then =
I
will either have to try to find the source for it in one of my very old
backups or I will have to take a look at the current hwsetup from knoppix
and start from scratch again.

I am thinking that the current state of udev makes most of vlsetup useless.
If we have the right scripts and rules, there should be no problems with
letting udev take care of all of it.

Regards,
Tony
