Since it's dying it's probably not worth it -- especially since the major distros are no longer dependent on it. Possibly we should disable it in the kernel config to avoid problems. If the udev/sysfs effort withers and devfs is revived then it might be worth considering supporting it. -- Keir ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
