I don't know. Perhaps a summary of module/driver changes and
reorganization would be good to have. The information is already out
there, you just have to find it. (I speak from having searched for it
when I made the transition)

I learned about this module when bind9 wouldn't start after a recent

Indeed. IIRC moving the IDE CD driver to the ide-cd module occurred
at the 2.2->2.4 transition.

Incremental in the learning :-).

ide-cd isn't specific to udev. It's specific to your cd drive :-).

You're welcome.

Yes, Java is so bulletproofed that to a C programmer it feels like being in a
straightjacket, but it's a really comfy and warm straightjacket, and the world
would be a safer place if everyone was straightjacketed most of the time.
