<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 > 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 -> 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>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para/>
</section>
<section>
<title>The menu</title>
<para><bridgehead>Options</bridgehead></para>
<para>The <guimenu>options</guimenu> menu gives the opportunity to check
boxes to enable automatic detection:</para>
<para><itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>modem</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Jaz devices</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Zip parallel devices</para>
</listitem>
</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
is started.</para>
