For the most part my attitude about the complexities of udev rules has been: "As long as it boots and stuff is there, let sleeping dogs lie."
As I was building 7.2 the box started throwing machine checks! I like to use HDD adapters so drives can be plugged in using one of the 5 1/4" slots on the front. So I popped out the drive and slammed it into a different box and kept going! That meant udev found a different CD/DVD drive & NIC. No problem, don't need 'em; don't WANT the NIC active! Different video too, but that was covered by regenerating xorg.conf. This wasn't expected to be a permanent "move", just hurdling the roadblock. This is an unusual thing for me to do. But I guess I should make a little script that makes sure everything necessary gets changed. I suppose that should include deleting the udev persistent net/cd rules. Yes? Anything else? (It can keep it's "identity" in /etc, for the most part.) (I ran through Ch6 last evening with no real problems, now I'm studying Ch7 before charging in. That's what brought this question up.) -- Paul Rogers [email protected] Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates." (I do not personally endorse any additions after this line.
