OK. Now I feel better. I used your command and now it is running. I hope it will run when I reboot. o_O r...@smoker / # /sbin/udevd --daemon r...@smoker / # ps aux | grep udev root 2595 0.0 0.0 2204 780 ? S<s 20:23 0:00 /sbin/udevd --daemon root 2599 0.0 0.0 1888 512 pts/0 S+ 20:23 0:00 grep --colour=auto udev r...@smoker / # At least I know udev works now. I was hoping that something hadn't been broken and I just didn't notice it. Thanks much for the info. I know how to start it if it is not running at least. Dale :-) :-)
