Yesterday, I had to remove device-mapper to so that udev-146-r1 could install. reading a little bit on this, it seems that I must have lvm2 installed? lvm2 is installed so all is cool? Also, I have e2fsprogs installed, but I do not think I need it, but is it a good idea to just leave it installed? I do periodically connect other hard drives to recover files and data, using a usb-2-ide(or sata) cable on this system, so ext2/3/4 support is probably a good idea, but is it absolutely required? This is a critical system for me, so I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything on the 'sunset' of device-mapper. I have not reboot yet, since all of these changes. I did the same steps last Saturday have had no problems. I do need Ext2 for my /boot partition, which is normally not mounted; otherwise, I use Reiserfs + Lvm2 . BTW you can continue to use a few KDE 3 apps alongside KDE 4 : you need to have separate dirs ~/.kde3.5~/.kde4 . -- ,, SUPPORT ___//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT`-O--O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca

I also use it the same way as you. I now have the lvm2 package and not device-mapper and everything still works with my encrypted partition.
