Have you tried the update-rc.d executable? My understanding is that when the various init scripts are added/deleted/moved with this, debconf won't change them. I could be wrong -- but from my experience so far, when I've used this they stay the way I want them. Sounds like what you need to do is change the order in which the processes are stopped -- umount the drive before stopping the packet-CD driver process. Whichever initlevel they occur in, you may even want to simply rename the K... links for these scripts. (I had to do a similar thing to start gpm support *after* I was positive that my USB support had started -- otherwise I'd have a mouse, but no gpm support for it. I simply renamed the Sxxgpm script in my default initlevel to S92gpm -- which started it pretty much after anything else.) -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
