Steady on, old chap! By "it" I was meaning the general inconvenience |
| 23 |
all round occasioned by the changes between udev-{197,200}. Not |
| 24 |
everybody encountered this. For example Dale, and Walt D. didn't have |
| 25 |

I was just trying to help Nick get his servers back up asap. I should |
| 28 |
imagine having down servers is even more nerve wracking than down |
| 29 |
desktops. (Down pillows are OK, though ;-). |

I've now got p6p1 instead of eth0. It's irritating, but not irritating |
| 32 |
enough for me to be bothered to do anything about it. |
