Stephen,
Sorry, but I'm a relative newbie to Linux.
1) By "developers", are you referring to the different login names? All (two)
of us need to have access to it.
2) What is in the stop part?
3) What files do these (stop & start) belong in?
Do these six lines really have the same effect as my "modprobe", "configure",
"make", "make install" and "comedi_config"? If so, that would be really nice.
Thanks,
Heather
