On debian, *all* devices are supposed to be created by udev if udev is installed (because /dev is a tmpfs).

This is a special-case, links.conf is supposed to be used *only* to create some symlinks and directories.

No, it will not: udev is run S04 and module-init-tools at S20 of rcS.d. -- ciao, | Marco | [7409 chrEQYAoOSJpw] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by OSTG.
