Thing I like about the fork, if people get fed up with udev, udev falls flat on its face or something else causes udev to fail, we have a udev already ready. That statement may not be true for another couple months or so but at least there is a Gentoo plan B. Also, I can get rid of dracut too. ;-) Walter, I wonder how much your work helped this along? If you had not stepped up and did what you have done, then this fork may have never happened. You could have at least let others know there are people looking for something else. If so, thanks for that. :-D Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words!
