Cool. Here a link to a Devfs FAQ: http://www.atnf.csiro.au/~rgooch/linux/docs/devfs.html It will help you set up the system. But be carefull since it is pretty easy to create an unbootable system that you have to repare by hand if you mess something up. Luckily it's also pretty easy to fall back to the previous system if you remeber to back up your previous kernel image. Installing devfs will most likely include kernel compiling. If you are afraid to compile your kernel, you can forget about installing devfs. On the other hand compiling your own linux kernel is something that most linux users should do anyhow as an adventure ;) There's a separate howto about linux kernel compilation (google: linux kernel compilation howto). I would also suggest to the brave people out there a new linux distribution called gentoo linux (www.gentoo.org). They have a very lean and mean base system which I see as good for biulsing a very small base system for use with VDR. Gentoo also provides a pre-patched 2.4.x kernel package with XFS and various performance quirks. It takes a while to install (everything is compiled from source during installation), but it's an adventure ;) BR, Lauri -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
