Not only that. Most people start from some kind of distribution. However it seems to have developed into a kind of standard to mount the video partitions directly. E.g. ctvdr/debian uses (I think ...) /var/vdr/videoX directly to mount the partition. Strange as it finally uses symlinks to create the /videoX. So change would be very small indeed. Althought the suggestions seems sensible and simple non of the distributions have currently been thinking about this issue ... Seems like this hasn't been that obvious, so thanks for suggesting it ;-) Peter _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
