James,

Good call  both
/etc/dynamic/scripts/rawdevice.script
/etc/dynamic/scripts/part.script

point to

/etc/dynamic/hooks/kde.hook   or  gnome.hook

as well as managing supermount if it is enabled.

Now to figure out how to stop it creating mount points and
kde desktop entries without killing anything else.


thanks
