But if you do, wow, look at the second Google link for "linux udev": http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0307.3/0495.html Hey look, documentation, a presentation, and wow, a statement saying that the code sucks, and is merely a proof of concept, and that it will get better over time. That's a zillion lines more of text than most open source projects ever generate. {sigh} greg k-h
