Message-Id: <20040412003325.A326@bedhost> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-hotplug@vger.kernel.org This message is intended primarily for the developer of udev but in case someone else has these same questions, I'm sending it to the mailing list. #1 I went to https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-hotplug-devel & clicked on http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum=linux-hotplug-devel. I then received this message : ERROR Either your mailing list name was misspelled or your mailing list has not been archived yet. If this list has just been created, please retry in 2-4 hours Is the mailing list new or misspelled ? #2 I downloaded udev-024.tar.gz and while reading the README file : "Make sure that you have the latest version of the linux-hotplug scripts". I followed the given URL and found the following files: diethotplug-x.x fxload hotplug hotplug-base hotplug-core hotplug-fxload hotplug-utils sysutils udev + a few documents QUESTION: Which one of these files is the required scripts? and what are these files ? An index in this directory would be nice. #3 - My main question After I install udev, can I delete my /dev directory ? As long as I don't boot anything other than Linux-2.6.x. #4 After udev is installed, will all programs then start looking for devices using udev or must the source code for those programs be changed specifically to use udev? ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
