Yes, Yoper lacks configuration tools. But this is not the (my) point ( at the moment) . The problem is that the kernel development moves more and more into a direction where it sends event signals to user space. These signals are usually handled by udev + hal + dbus whatever. What Yoper currently NOT has is the userspace event handling. In big parts it's pretty nonexisting. And the problem is that you cannot use other distros tool easily. You can look at them writing your own scripts / event-handlers. But it always comes back to doing it on your own. When this is done we can take care of Device Configuration. But for now we have to take care of the proper handling of kernel to userspace messages. regards -- Tobias Gerschner Member of Board of Yoper Ltd. NZ Knowing is not enough; we must apply.
