I need to disable USB for Suse 8.2. During my new installation on Suse 8.2 I missed the the point where I need to disable the USB probing during initial boot up. There is an environment variable called HOTPLUG_START_USB that by default is set to "yes". I need it to be "no", otherwise the system just freezes during boot up. Documentation does not say which file can set that variable. Web searches (at SUSE) references only SUSE 8.0, which has completely different directory structures from 8.2.

Failing this, what grep command will search all files and find where HOTPLUG_START_USB is referenced and print to the screen the file name. I just cannot figure out how to use Grep from the books I have.
