Any ideas on what is needed to make /dev/usbscanner permanent? After a reboot, it seems I need to do
sudo mknod /dev/usbscanner c 180 48 sudo chmod 666 /dev/usbscanner each time. Would it be a matter of a startup script, or is there another way. And in a similar area, when I list /dev/usb, I get nick@artarmon ~ % ls /dev/usb -l total 0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 180, 48 Jan 1 1970 scanner0 You can't get much more permanent than eternity. Well at least since the dawn of time. And strangely, root is not allowed to rm that device, according to the means known to me. (I seem to recall making that one some time agao when I was trying to configure an unsupported scanner). /* _\|/_ (o o) +----oOO-{_}-OOo------------------------------+ |Piano Technician - Theme & Variations, Sydney| +--------------------------------------------*/ -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
