Back to the /dev question, if you are running devfs or udev, then
you will not need to back up /dev, but doing so will not hurt
anything. By default, Sarge does not use either of these... it uses
a traditional /dev directory with individual device files.
/dev with udev is in-memory and is populated by the kernel,
rather than being files on the disk. However I notice that
you need at least /dev/console on the disk to boot a 2.6
kernel with udev. Does anyone know the minimum contents of
/dev to boot a 2.6 kernel with udev?
Thanks Joe
