    I don't want this :)

    This is an install from a Mepis Linux CD. Mepis is a Debian-based live CD
    distro and it's quite nice, but some of the behavior is weird (to me) and I'm
    trying to tame it back to the 'normal' sid situation I'm used to.

    What's happening here is that it creates mount points (cd,cd1,floppy,and many
    more) under /mnt. I don't use /mnt. When I rm -rf /mnt, upon reboot they are
    re-created. Not that that harms anything, but it's an irritant. I removed
    autofs to no avail. I'm still digging through init scripts.

    Additionally, entries I create in dev (cdrom,cdrom1,and dvd) are erased when
    the box is rebooted. I don't find a /dev/.devfsd file, nor does mount report
    devfs.
