And to respond to some of the other issues raised: Originally, we created the LFS udev rules to match the base functionality of the MAKEDEV package. Could we perhaps resurrect that package, except that the new MAKEDEV would generate a udev rules file, rather than the nodes themselves? Possibly allow a "prompt" option to makedev which asks what nodes you want, and a makedev LFS\BLFS so the actual node rules can be maintained by the appropriate development teams - just a thought. Note also that editing the default ruleset supplied by LFS is not necessary - multiple rules files are perfectly acceptable, as long as the rules of precedence are considered. -- - Steve Crosby -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
