The advantage of udev is, of course, the ability to plug in a device like a usb drive after the system is running and have it come up automatically. This is a very desirable thing for a desktop or laptop, but not that important for a server. Do we want to cover the ability to create static devices instead of using udev? This does argue for an appendix on network configuration for scenarios more complex than a single eth0 interface. I am not sure how to handle the issue of multiple network cards using the old methodology other than just doing a reboot and seeing what came up. I do believe that under to old system you could count on the cards coming up in the same order every time. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
