So hotplug is not a seperate package and you will have to read the udev documents to find how to convert any hotplug rules to the new udev/hotplug package. But a note, you wont be able to use older kernels with new setup, so dont have any old kernels listed in your grub/lilo config. cheers, Kev > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://www.nabble.com/linux-image-2.6.15-1-686---hotplug-tf1981113.html#a5436654 > Sent from the Debian User forum at Nabble.com. > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
