Re: No /dev/pmu

[Tony <neben.kabon.2004@charter.net>]

I originally installed 'pmud' as that is what I have used with Yellowdog 
Linux.  I believe I also had to change the permissions on /etc/pmu to 
make the error message go away.

'pmud' was relaced when I installed 'pbbuttonsd'.  See the posting on 
this list with the subject "pmud vs. pbbuttonsd on iBook" dated 8/11/04.
