Hi -
I just replaced devfs with udev. I had/have something like1600 entries in /dev and would like to trim that way back to just what is needed (a home computer). Can I boot from a floppy and remove /dev then restart and only the devs needed will be created? If so, and it creates all1600 entries again (I don't know how much was left over from devfs), do I need to go through udev conf files figuring out how to keep so many from being created?
Mike
