May I delete it? I compiled the pcmcia drivers into the kernel. But I also had to change /etc/init.d/pcmcia not to check for the modules any longer. Should I report this as a bug? In connection with the init.d scripts. E.g. gpm has the tendency to die without removing its pidfile. If the /etc/init.d/gpm tries to start, it detects the lockfile and gives up. After that the only way to bring gpm up is to delete the lockfile (by hand) and also! remove /mnt/.init.d/started, because gpm stop won't remove itself from /mnt... because it failed killing the gpm-daemon but gmp start fails because there is a /mnt/... file. If you know where to search for, it's not a big deal, but I guess the scripts should remove wrong pidfiles and also remove itself from started even if the daemon does not exist. Last question: is there a way to tell X11 to report using syslogd? If yes, shouldn't this be the default? Christian
