I've struggled finding decent info on Kudzu - if you know
where to look let me know. Always wary of anything I can't get
sensible info on.

Longer term I'm thinking of looking at streamlining the entire
configuration process (of at least my boxes ;-) ) so I'm not over
concerned about using XML. For some things (like variable amount of
PCI cards installed - each with an undetermined number of resources)
it is easier to work with than plain text. Whether a full XML parser
is required or I can 'bash' out the bits I need remains to be seen.

And having told kde-profile for the umpteenth time what run levels to
start and stop in I really want a better solution.

Now we have scribe and multi grimoires, I can actually run off down my
own road and see where it leads without worrying about suiting
everyone ;-) Hopefully at least some of what I do will be useful in
the main grimoires!
