That fits perfectly into the ROCK 2.1 roadmap which includes support for various /dev layouts (static, dyn. using devfs and dyn. using udev). Imo devfs should stay in the kernel (because it is a great feature and very usefull in the userland) and the implementation (which is a bit overloaded) should be fixed. However: as always there are other opinions out there too .. ;-) yours, - clifford -- | Clifford Wolf /-----=[ www.clifford.at ]==[ Tel: +43-699-10063494 ]=-\ |--------------/ diestartseite.at vocat.cc =[ Fax: +43-2235-42788-4 ]=-| |-=[ EDEN Creations -- www.edenevents.at ]==[ IRC: www.freenode.net ]=-| \==[ www.rocklinux.org ]===[ www.rocklinux.net ]===[ www.linbit.com ]==/ 2B OR (NOT 2B) That is the question.
