Thanks. I'm reading http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch01.en.html#_device_files and http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html#about looking for how to write a rule that meets my needs. But I have a problem understanding. I don't see anything in udev rules that allows me to control the mount point of a device, i.e. what connects the symlink /dev/cdrom, with the mountpoint /media/cdromX ? Udev rules seem to be concerned only with what appears in /dev/ . What am I missing? Is there a fixed, invariant mapping that just always happens? -- Paul E Condon pecon...@mesanetworks.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
