In baselayout-1, udev is started directly by baselayout itself, outside of any init scripts. In baselayout-2/openrc, an initscript is needed to start udev. If you actually read the script, you may notice that the script will immediately fail if you attempt to run it on a baselayout-1 system, as it isn't needed. If/when you upgrade to baselayout-2/openrc, it will automatically be added to the boot runlevel, but only if baselayout-1 had been previously installed. In short, don't worry about it. :) (this didn't appear to send the first time, so resending...) - -- Jonathan Callen (ABCD) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkqpeCgACgkQOypDUo0oQOppywCfa3+jnwddXZfocNqvDeWbbjGC 3UAAoL7b9ElKq+72QpFwtrW/hpSWVUOD =3KGk -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
