Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

  intuitively? (Moreover, I'm asked to do this in two different places.)
These names depend on driver writer, if you don't know just use the default. Optionally I can move it to some "advanced" settings.

Is there a case where a normal person would want the non-default?


3) How is the user supposed to know whether to use kudzu, /proc, or HAL
  detection? Why are they even *given* a choice???
I'm failing to see what sort of usage case this is solving. Surely this
should all just work?
It's because:
kudzu detects only internal cards (kudzu doesn't detect USB cards well),
[...]
Proc detects all cards fine, but it isn't "preferred" and works only when drivers are succesfully loaded.
[...]
HAL detects only cards with correct /sys entries (so it doesn't detect

So, when HAL detects all devices fine, I'll remove proc&kudzu.

Why not, in the meantime, do them all? Or do HAL first, and if that fails,
kudzu, and if that fails, proc? (Possibly with a "look for more" button?)



this would be a good idea
something like no soundcard found should I try an other method to detect? yes -no
