I don't know about that, and really I don't much care about unconfiguring stuff. My understanding of the original post was that kudzu would try to reconfigure the printer on every reboot, which is simply foobared. Now, I have seen this a few times on my boxes: kudzu: your XYZ have been removed from your system. Remove configuration? me: eh, yes? kudzu: your XYZ have been added to your system. Configure device? me: why, you little...! I don't care about some deep technical discussion on why this makes sense, becuase it just doesn't. And no, I don't think you should unconfigure anything. Just remember the config, maybe use it next time you plug in the device. > > If I *manually" have to do stuff, it's broken. > > If i have to manually reconfigure settings to suit my prefences... > things are broken? Yes, if you have to do it every time you start your box. Imagine if your had to reconfigure your desktop every time you started X. -- Dimi.
