Great! Brendan do you want to update your patches if you agree with this approach? I will test hwdata later for my mangohud patch, but since it is a simple copy install, I don't anticipate any problems.

Oh, and if I understand correctly, keeping pciutils with a pci.ids.gz would avoid a profile collision with hwdata's pci.ids (so you can have both pciutils and the extra data of hwdata), right? Which would also be good.

Thanks everyone,
John
