It comes in the old hotplug package, and the kernel does assume you have it. You can leave the kernel's setting at the default. It will just try to call hotplug and fail. We just remove that setting since we know we don't have it and udev will handle the uevents on its own. http://www.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/ -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
