Re: iRiver Clix Media Player - How To Use with Debian?

I also found this tutorial http://www.redhat.com/magazine/002dec04/features/udev/ It's for RedHat so some things might be a bit different in Debian. http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/linux_beginner_books/debian_linux_desktop_survival_guide/Using_UDEV.shtml I found those with Google Linux h
