I only had one or two issues with devfs, and those were really problems with other applications not being coded to recognize it. I gather that there was a lot of infighting about it on LKML, though. How much was politics and people, and how much was technical I don't know. Still, I think it could have taken off and been useful with more cooperation. -- Todd Pytel ---------------------------------------- Signature attached PGP Key ID 77B1C00C
