This is probably where the rub is. They have perceived some desperate need to do things in / for user space while the machine has not even mounted the partitions. Smells of windoze thinking. "Look ma no brain". And it is caused by working for a monthly pay-check (not that we don't all need one off course) In Debian also things happen, but then at least they have been chewed over at nauseam on the lists and some communal decision has been reached, which is TRACABLE and understandable if you take the trouble to study the matter. many eons ago I used to run Mandrake, but the answers always came from the Debian / Ubuntu lists. Until I chose eggs for my money and went on with life. So thats my 2 cents worth in this discussion. Jan de Kruyf.
