If you are as impatient as I am, you are sick and tired of waiting 30 seconds for Kudzu (the Linux hardware detection wizard) to time out every time you reboot your Trixbox. Here’s how to change the Kudzu timeout:

From your Linux CLI, do the following:

nano /etc/rc.d/init.d/kudzu

Scroll down to line 50 and change:

/usr/sbin/kudzu $KUDZU_ARGS -t 30

to

/usr/sbin/kudzu $KUDZU_ARGS -t 5

CTRL+X to exit and then Y when asked to save.

The -t option is the timeout value. I set it to 5 seconds instead of 30, but set it to whatever timeout you feel comfortable with. Use the extra 25 seconds wisely!
