You don't need to wait for a particular event to be finished processing; instead you should wait for the resource you actually need to become available, e.g. a device node. It would be useful to add a simple utility for this to debianutils or similar so that it doesn't need to be reimplemented in so many places. -- - mdz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
