Currently, the book still mentions the hotplug package in its explanations of how udev works, particularly in the "Device/Module Handling" page and the kernel build page. Unfortunately, I don't know much about how Udev works...should modification be as simple as replacing instances of "Udev and Hotplug" with "Udev" or would there be more to it?
Hotplug is a concept as much as it was the binary /sbin/hotplug. Udev still handles the action of dynamically created devices. The only times hotplug is mentioned on the LFS page are that the udev bootscript replaces /sbin/hotplug as the uevent handler. I haven't checked that this is still true, but Alexander just went over this page again, so I imagine it is. The CLFS page has a bit more mention of hotplug. I haven't looked at the CLFS bootscripts, but I believe what's on the page now applies to older udev (certainly udevstart isn't there anymore, and I doubt udevsend is being used as the handler). Have a look at the LFS page. As I said, Alexander just went over this. http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/development/chapter07/udev.html -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
