For example it holds your supplemental device drivers and initial /dev. /dev/console is opened from this /dev so it much be up before the console is. This is much earlier than normal user space starts. I believe the current Fedora 3 uses udev from initramfs, but I haven't tried it yet. -- Jon Smirl jon...@gm... |
