Hi all, happy new year and all that. Just rolled my own 2.6.12 on a 700 MHz Pentium III, with everything I need built-in, and very little that I don't. Boot time from button press to text console, via a grub default confirm, 72 secs :-)
So now that I'm up to speed, I'm trying to grok the d-bus/udev/hald/gvm conspiracy, which is fantastic by the way. Gnome is damn close to achieving it's stated aim in recent months, namely; "hardware that just works". Anyhow, I just came across this file; /etc/udev/links.conf # This file does not exist. Please do not ask the debian maintainer about it. # You may use it to do strange and wonderful things, at your risk. L fd /proc/self/fd L stdin /proc/self/fd/0 L stdout /proc/self/fd/1 L stderr /proc/self/fd/2 L core /proc/kcore L sndstat /proc/asound/oss/sndstat L MAKEDEV /sbin/MAKEDEV D pts D shm M null c 1 3 M console c 5 1 # Hic sunt leones. M ppp c 108 0 D loop M loop/0 b 7 0 D net M net/tun c 10 200 Is this someone's idea of a joke, because it's very funny indeed :-) I've no idea what it does, but I never thought the Latin we had to learn at school would ever have a use. How wrong I was! On a more serious note, the aforementioned hardware conspiracy is actually working a little _too_ well for me at the moment. I have an external firewire drive with several partitions on it, only one of which I need on a daily basis. As soon as I switch it on gvm mounts all (five) partitions. Is there any way I can prevent gvm from mounting four of them? sdt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
