So, for those of you using fedora-devel, or planning to upgrade to Fedora Core 2 when released, there is no reason not to dance in the beauty of a dynamic dev directory. I have compiled these easy-to-follow steps: - download and install the udev rpm [1] - download the udev tarball [2] and untar it - copy etc/init.d/udev to /etc/init.d - type "/sbin/chkconfig --add udev" - make sure that your /udev is mounted during early boot, if it is not a directory on your root - reboot And then it will Just Work. Really, all of these steps should be automated by the RPM spec file. I will add that. But for now, the above will suffice.
