Erm, it's been so long that I forgot. We do use devfs. We still have to provide a number of compatability links in /dev, since a lot of stuff, expecially libraries, doesn't support the devfs names yet. Everything we're foing for d-i should use the devfs names, if possible.

I have never heard of stripping the kernel itself. -- see shy jo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
