/etc/sysconfig/hwconf is created and maintained by "kudzu".  By default,
kudzu isn't installed in F9 or F10.  You can "yum install kudzu" to
install it, then "kudzu -q" to build your file.

Under F9/F10, I prefer to use "smoltSendProfile -p" to get a printout
of the hardware.  Redirect its output to a file for a permanent record.
YMMV, of course.
