paul, it seems that 7.1 (i have the small version, 2 cd�s binaries and
tools, no sources) does touch the isdn devices.......it did properly
upgrade my isdn4k utils and isdn4net package but one file (what i saw so
far) was gone : /dev/isdninfo
maybe u can prevent this on your machine by not choosing to upgrade the
isdn packages.....unfortunatly i wasnt offered to
choose which packets to upgrade.....although setup tells that u are (!),
another thing i dont understand...in my case setup of lm. 7.1 (upgrading
from 6.1) skipped all settings (printer, x, network, tomezone, bootdisk (!)
) and began installing packages without prompting me
to choose but this is another problem..may happen to u or not.....;)
finally i was told by some guys on the isdn4linux list that one had to use
the "makedev.sh" script to recreate the devices....unfortunatly this script
isnt on my system..it seems that it comes with the source of
isdn4k-utils......now guess.....the source for version 3.1beta7-2mdk isnt
available on any ftp server of mandrake......the binary is......dont
understand this...but anyways......maybe this was just bad luck.....;)
shit happens.....*g*
just to tell u what i know so far about this prob...
regards..
