From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: After a fresh linux install, the file /etc/init.d/hotplug does not exists. 'man hotplug' says it should. Package & documentation does not agree. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Didn't try since that would be a nightmare to re-install RH7.1 to upgrade then to RH7.3! Steps to Reproduce: 1. Uprade from RH7.1 2. ls -l /etc/init.d 3. Can't find 'hotplug' file there Actual Results: Nothing :-) Expected Results: a file in /etc/init.d that I could call with 'start', 'stop' or restart, as all the other files there Additional info: I upgraded a computer from RH7.1 to RH7.3. I tried to install a USB mouse and discovered the existence of hotplug. The system was not discovering the mouse (coldplug or hotplug) so I read the documentation. It says that there should be /etc/init.d/hotplug (to use in /etc/rc3.d for instance). I had my mouse working by inserting 'modprobe's in /etc/rc.d/rc.local.
