You may be right about udev. I know at one point udev was having trouble if /dev/console and some other file was not there when it was at the first part of booting up. It was talked about so I suspect that little glitch has been fixed but one can never tell about these things. I'm not a real big fan of defrag on Linux but was just sort of nosing around a bit. I just like some things to be in their place and I was bored at the time. Dale :-) :-)
