I guess it depends on how often the user changes their hardware, and how confident or experienced they are. Ultimately, though, unless one has full access the the GUI or other menu oriented configuration interface, learning to read documentation and edit text config files is the easiest way out (and often it is still the easiest way, even _with_ the GUI). But it's been too long since I was at that level for me to say for sure -- come to think of it, I learned at the text level, before the menu stuff even became available. Anyway, I can see that, for many users, turning kudzu off is a good option. They can always run it from the command line, if it is needed. LCR -- L. C.
