Build udev_update and report back some usage info! But yes, I wholeheartedly agree. > The real stumbling block from what I can tell is the headers issue. I don't think so. It's unfortunate that the headers are getting out of date, but we can keep using them as long as we want. The only two major features I can think of that would be left out of glibc are inotify support and the new syscalls. Greg has a patch to add the new syscalls to l-l-h-2.6.12.0 for x86: http://www.diy-linux.org/downloads/patches/linux-libc-headers-2.6.12.0-x86-syscalls-1.patch Hmm, this info should be going on lfs-dev. Just to finish my thought, though, if you're unfamiliar with the new syscalls, read this post on LKML from Ulrich Drepper for a quick analysis: http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/12/15/358 -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
