Correct me if I'm wrong (I'm new to Unix):
Yeah, but then you'd need all that software support stuff saved on your
computer and included in you Kernel.  That's one of the major reasons why
I'm getting out of Windows -- too much stuff I don't need loading up.

I figure someone could write a program to probe devices and figure out their
settings, but I don't want it.  I don't install hardware everyday (hardly
every year), so why would I want all that stuff loaded into my machine
everytime I run it?
