Well, unless something really horrible is happening, as I understand it, when you update said deb it won't touch any rc?.d links it doesn't know about. For example, if I had an entry /etc/rc2.d/S20eggturnerd to start the egg-turning daemon on bootup, then I would *expect* dpkg to realise that deleting something it doesn't know about will probably break something, and jolly well leave it alone (unlike Windoze installers). So you could create a script, say in /etc/init.d/umountUDF, to umount the CD drive, and create a link to it /etc/rc6.d/Kxxumountudf, choosing xx so that this script is run immediately before the one to kill the packet-CD driver. Course, if this DOESN'T work, no doubt someone will say so... don't see why it shouldn't though. Pigeon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
