Comment 3 for bug 36664

Thanks for your comments, Colin. Firstly I want to make it clear that I did not want an additional Gui in the installer. I don't understand the options that I am talking about and I consider that there are those out there with less knowledge than myself.

What I was always talking about was auto-configuration. As you rightly point out, if it can be automatically done, it doesn't need hdparm.conf options set.

From my point of view, I would consider the issue fixed whether it was done by the kernel or the installer. At the moment most users either have to get someone else to 'write' their hdparm file or they have to run their hardware sub-optimally.
