Some years ago, we here just reverted to large-ish set of 'static' pre-made device-files via MAKEDEV &c, along with automounting, and a few other old(-ish/mature)-but-works-and-still-relevant methods. It just works. ((But then, we also sat-out all the *kit, grub, gnome, udev, sysvinit, &c&c see-sawing: read about them, sure, understood them, sure, but rely on them for work? No chance.)) ((As for the linux kernel having a sysd-wrapper increasingly slipped around it via a cabal of specious, solipsistic, untrustworthy, deceitful, &c&c 'programmers' from, interestingly, a rather small and particular geographical spread, ... well, I won't get started, and besides one doesn't need to: either Linux will see through them and remain worthwhile; or it won't see through them and become not-worthwhile. Dead simple.)) rgds, akh -- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
