There are certainly some things that could be delayed, but creating these /dev nodes using tar is fast enough that there's not much point. > Does the modified uudev startup work with the Debian kernels (i.e. > without having to hardwire all the needed modules) No. A non-modular kernel is a precondition for all of this. >> - Setting the clock takes up to a second.
