what is KUDZU ?

When you add or remove hardware from your computer and reboot Red Hat Linux, a window appears during the reboot process advising that hardware has either been added or removed and asking if you want to reconfigure it. The program that detects and reconfigures your hardware is called kudzu.
The kudzu program is a hardware autodetection and configuration tool that runs automatically at boot time.
1.It checks the hardware connected to your computer.
2.It compares the hardware it finds to the database of hardware information stored in the
/etc/sysconfig/hwconf file.
3.It prompts you to change your system configuration, based on new or removed hardware that was detected.
