First off: Ubuntu is not debian--you'll probably get better help on a ubuntu list, which can be found somewhere off of 'http://www.ubuntu.com' One apparent difference is the use of hotplug--in standard debian testing/unstable installs, udev has absorbed and conflicts with hotplug so the best I can tell you is to try and install udev and set up udev rules for it--with the caveat that I have no idea in what horrible ways that may break a Ubuntu install!! -- Christopher Nelson -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- <nonlinear> .net is microsofts perverted version of a java networked environment uglified for windows-specific crap -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
