Many have a debug compile option which programs in a number of hooks which usually slow things down but produce voluminous messages. Most packages do also have runtime debug options, see the package's config file which are usually well commented, the man page, or the documentation in /usr/share/doc/packagename-version/ as for hot plug i usually find the kernel log to be the first port of call, and dmesg. I am not sure how to increase the level of logging. this may help: http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net/?selected=debug > > - Brad > > Jens Mayer wrote: > > >* On Thursday 03 February 2005 19:31, Bradley Serbu wrote: > > > > > > > >>Obviously thats what I ment to type.
