new distro- hardware detection


I have been reviewing different installers like Anaconda and oddly enough, Knoppix. I really like the hardware detection that knoppix has. I am wondering if anyone knows if that is a seperate package, in which case I could use it in my own distro, or if I have to build off of knoppix, or even the debian source to utilize that feature ? If you have any good examples that would also help.

If you don't find it, here are some standard Debian packages that do detection
discover
mdetect
read-edid
sndconfig
hotplug
nictools-nopci
nictools-pci
mii-diag
