My understanding is that when the various init scripts are added/deleted/moved with this, debconf won't change them. I could be wrong -- but from my experience so far, when I've used this they stay the way I want them. Sounds like what you need to do is change the order in which the processes are stopped -- umount the drive before stopping the packet-CD driver process. Whichever initlevel they occur in, you may even want to simply rename the K... links for these scripts. (I had to do a similar thing to start gpm support *after* I was positive that my USB support had started -- otherwise I'd have a mouse, but no gpm support for it. I simply renamed the Sxxgpm script in my default initlevel to S92gpm -- which started it pretty much after anything else.) -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Oops. My bad. But from your wording, I'm not sure if you're saying it's the package configuration process that causes changes to the SysV script order/placement, or something else...? It's the code in the maintainer scripts (preinst, postinst, prerm, postrm), yes. The postinst, for instance, is typically responsible for adding links to init.d scripts, and runs update-rc.d.

Changing the order of the links with update-rc.d is fine. Cheers, -- Colin Watson [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I don't know how to change the shutdown scripts in a debian friendly way so that the driver persists until umount is called. Solutions that I have come up with will be over-written when the boot/shutdown scripts deb (whatever it is) is updated. Well, unless something really horrible is happening, as I understand it, when you update said deb it won't touch any rc?.d links it doesn't know about. For example, if I had an entry /etc/rc2.d/S20eggturnerd to start the egg-turning daemon on bootup, then I would *expect* dpkg to realise that deleting something it doesn't know about will probably break something, and jolly well leave it alone (unlike Windoze installers). So you could create a script, say in /etc/init.d/umountUDF, to umount the CD drive, and create a link to it /etc/rc6.d/Kxxumountudf, choosing xx so that this script is run immediately before the one to kill the packet-CD driver. Course, if this DOESN'T work, no doubt someone will say so... don't see why it shouldn't though. Pigeon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

CDRW UDF file system scripts
Greetings, I recently patched my kernel so that I could use a CDRW as a regular file system for backup purposes. Right know I manually run: pktsetup /dev/pktcdvd0 /dev/scd1 and then mount the drive with the following options in fstab: rw,user,noatime,noauto everything works well but if I shutdown and forget to manually unmount the cdrw the system hangs when trying to unmount the local filesystems. Which script(s) do I have to modify to run pktsetup on bootup automatically and also be able to shutdown properly.
