Used to be great for me too until I tried to upgrade it to work with libusb and my new handheld. If I install udev now, even what I thought was a stable old version 0.79, it causes havoc: - it makes /dev/null unwritable for users - it disables my hardware sensors in lm-sensors - it takes out my cdrom and more I suspect plus all attendant side-effects thereof. Initially I tried to get it to work following these instructions http://code.pilot-link.org/README.libusb (if interested, scroll down to the section "how do i configure these pieces..") but after that I just apt-get removed it. I need to get it going though because otherwise I won't be able to synch my handheld (my old one as well as the new one!)

cd drive config
I installed a new harddrive and moved the toshiba cd drive from hdb to hdc. I obviously need to reconfigure something because I'm unable to play music cds or mount data cds. i changed /etc/fstab to this: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # proc/proc procdefaults0 0 /dev/hda1 / ext3defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hda6 /home ext3defaults0 2 /dev/hda5 noneswapsw 0 0 /dev/hdc/media/cdrom0 iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/fd0/media/floppy0 autorw,user,noauto 0 0 #usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0 (haven't set up the new harddrive yet). I tried mount /dev/cdrom and got this error msg: mount /dev/cdrom mount: can't find /dev/hdb in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab Can someone point me to the config mechanism for this?
