I assume that you won't %ghost or remove these and the modules.conf
|
||
change on uninstall, though. So people who are installing this RPM and
|
||
are unfortunate enough to have a DVD drive (or just an ordinary CD,
|
||
non-DVD drive) that doesn't support DMA will be left with a system
|
||
without a working CD drive, even after removing the RPM. And without
|
||
ever knowing what struck them. You can't remove the DMA setting from
|
||
modules.conf either unless you're sure that ogle added it there and
|
||
nothing else needs it.
|
||
|
||
The /dev stuff isn't that dangerous, but the modules.conf change can
|
||
be. That's why "Eek" :)

A worthy goal...

|
||
|
||
How about splitting the creation of the symlinks and modules.conf
|
||
modifications into a separate RPM?
