hm... I think that such info in dev depends on kernel version and udev, so such thing can have problems on older distros. I'm using fedora 3 with my own kernel 2.6.26 and I have such info, but I'm wondering does original fc3 kernel (think it was 2.6.9) and udev provides such info. Of course there's always direct kernel ctl call to disk (but then you have to be logged as root) and read disk id. So conclusion is that Fedora, CentOS & Mandriva provides such info. zeljko -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
