>From what I have read, they are saying what has worked for decades has been broken the whole time. Doesn't matter that it works for millions of users, its broken. They say it is broken so they can "fix it" with a init thingy for EVERYONE. Sorry, that's like telling me my car has been broken for the last ten years when I have been driving it to town and it runs just fine. The udev/systemd people sound like politicians. We want to change something so something must be broke, let's fix it. They get together, make some new rules and it actually ends up being worse then what it originally was. Do they back up and try to come up with something else, no, they try to fix it some more which leads to more problems. This continues until it falls in on itself OR someone with some sense realizes we need to go back to where it was and make it work like it has for so many years. The eudev folks are planning to continue with what has worked, that's my reading on it anyway. YMMV Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...
