In the default mode, no. We need to provide the default kernel naming scheme to comply with the Linux Standards Base and to prevent all older apps from breaking. > Does udev act as a /dev replacement, or will it actually need some > app-level work? Yes, it is a /dev replacement. The only application work would be if a user starts to change their naming scheme (to always name a specific printer a specific name), as then the config file to point to a specific device would need to be changed. All applications should not have hard coded /dev entries, but I'm sure there are some out there that are for some reason... thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
