How is removing my cdrom entry from /etc/fstab, deleting the /dev/cdrom link and deleting the /mnt/cdrom directory not the fault of kudzu? By default, kudzu configures the cdrom (swappable with a floppy drive) and makes the "kudzu" option in /etc/fstab. This is fine and works great. Regardless of whether or not I have any additional entries in /etc/fstab, when I remove the USB memory stick, the cdrom debacle occurs (described above). Yes, removing the "kudzu" option from /etc/fstab is probably the workaround/kludge, but not the solution to the problem. Kudzu is still clobbering my cdrom config. Even re-starting the service does not help. If it's not kudzu then it's whatever piece is managing removeable devices (kernel?).
