Forking udev and making sure it stays as lean as possible isn't that bad. Making mdev a bit richer and enjoy the speed advantage of busybox over stand alone shells could be another option. Most of the perceived speed in non-shell init systems is due not having to spawn as many processes. A full busybox wouldn't spawn many processes. lu -- Luca Barbato Gentoo/linux http://dev.gentoo.org/~lu_zero
