[Lula] Re: how to preserve link through shutdown & reboot

[Richard Dawson]

thanks for the guidance:  I dug through some of the information on udev and 
found how to make a rule automatically estabishing the moden to ttyS4 
symbolic link whenever the machine is rebooted.  Seems to work quite well.

Now, since I understand that my Mandriva system is using udev, is there any 
reason to use supermount for floppy mounts?

Thanks for the help
