Hi all:
I just installed slackware 10 on my notebook. Everything went well
during the installation, but when I try to boot it locks on the part
where it checks for new hardware. I don't think I will be installing any
new hardware on this notebook, so how can I disable this feature?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure on this.

Check your /etc/rc.d
There should be a script in there , like rc.hotplug or something like that
Delete it or better change the attributes with chmod so it can't run.
(or move it whatever).

I imagine `hotplug` is a system service. Can't, then, chkconfig be
used to turn the service off from starting in the desired run-level?

You're in the wrong newsgroup.

Got it, thank you. It eventually came to me and I used "chmod -x
rc.hotplug" to make it work.
