Package: discover Version: 1.5-2 Severity: wishlist I have a laptop. My configuration never changes. Discover runs on every boot, and I boot many times a day. Each discover run takes like 30s time.
It was very good to have discover when I installed the system. But now it is annoying me. I would like to have some option like runonce, so that it detects all my hw it can find on installation, or on a new release of discover, then it just edits my module configuration (ex. /etc/modutils/discover for 2.4, /etc/modprobe.d/discover for 2.6), adding some aliases, like alias eth0 e100 alias sound-slot-0 maestro or whatever. So that next time I don't have to run discover to load a bunch of unused modules, taking my memory, and taking a lot of time to detect the same hardware configuration again, but when I want to use something the corresponding module gets loaded automatically. If there are some modules that can't get loaded automatically (I am really sorry such things exist) those can be added to /etc/modules so that they are loaded at boot always.
