Hi,
May be this is stupid questions :

If I replace / add some new HW (like NIC, Sound Card, VGA Card, etc) on my comp which running Linux RH8.0 or 9.0. Do I have to resinstall the RH, or the Linux will recoqnize the new hardware that I added or replaced?

Thx + Rgds,

If you are running Kudzu at boot time, It usually recognizes
otherwise you can run Kudzu manually.
 

Yes, probably you are running kudzu so if the Linux distribution supports the new hardware it will recognize it and will install it.

If the drivers are not include you will not do anything reinstalling the Linux OS, you will have to download the drivers, recompile and install them or, in some cases add their support into your kernel recompiling it.
