if you install 'discover' on your machines, kernel modules for a lot of
hardware (like network cards, soundcards ...) are detected and loaded at
boottime.
there are three pieces of hardware left, where you have to develop your
own solution:
-graphics card
-mouse
-monitor
we use fcopy for our XF86Config, copying only a kind of template and
inserting the data by using postinst, doing installtime detection there.
we use read-edid and hwinfo for this.
single problem: as hwinfo is a locally debianized SuSE-tool, in longterm
we have to replace it ;)
