+ <para>This tool<footnote>
+ <para>You can start this tool from the command line, by typing <emphasis
+ role="bold">harddrake2</emphasis> as root.</para>
+ </footnote> gives a general view of the hardware of your computer. When the
+ tool is launched, it executes a job to look for every element of the
+ hardware. For that, it uses the command <code>ldetect </code>which refers to
+ a list of hardware in <code>ldetect-lst</code> package.</para>

+ <section>
+ <title>The window</title>
+
+ <para>The window is divided in two columns.</para>
+
+ <para>The left column contains a list of the detected hardware. The
+ devices are grouped by categories. Click on the &gt; to expand the content
+ of a category. Each device can be selected in this column.</para>
+
+ <para>The right column displays information about the selected device.
+ The <guimenu>Help -&gt; Fields description</guimenu> gives some information
+ about the content of the fields.</para>
+
+ <para>According to which type of device is selected, either one or two
+ buttons are available at the bottom of the right column:</para>
+
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para><guibutton>Set current driver options</guibutton>: this can be
+ used to parameterize the module which is used in relation to the
+ device. This must used by experts only.</para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para><guibutton>Run config tool</guibutton>: access to the tool which
+ can configure the device. The tool can often be accessed directly from
+ the MCC.</para>

+ </itemizedlist>By default these detections are not enabled, because
+ they are slow. Check the appropriate box(es) if you have this hardware
+ connected. Detection will be operational the next time this tool
